#durov hot takes
- data is toxic.
- if telegram were e2ee to begin with (by default) then no one would have any idea what were actually happening on said platform.
- telegram isn't made to be that way, by design. you reap what you sow.
- you don't make billions by protecting everyone's privacy.
- content moderation can't scale unless you build in mass surveillance systems. (or you're federated and community responsibility is not centrally managed)
telegram/#durov is being targeted because, since it's not e2ee, it's very easy to find 'bad behavior' on telegram, which makes it an easy target for these kinds of charges
either this #durov case will 1) cause more tech bro companies to build in more surveillance systems, or 2) build more e2ee into said systems, or 3) both depending on capitalism motivations
the US is less likely to come down hard on American corps because money
