La raison est très simple du coup : c'est d'avoir plein de messages de terroristes, de le savoir, et de refuser de les donner à la justice (alors que de ne pas les avoir comme avec Signal/WhatsApp/iMessage) règle définitivement le problème pour l'éditeur comme pour la confidentialité de l'utilisateur

The European Union's Crackdown on Free Speech: Telegram's Struggle for Digital Freedom

Pavel Durov, the visionary behind Telegram, is facing severe backlash from French authorities due to his unwavering stance on free speech. His recent arrest under a slew of serious charges, including terrorism, drug trafficking, and allegations related to illegal content, signals a troubling trend in Europe’s approach to digital communication.

These accusations, which seem to be more about silencing dissent than addressing actual crimes, highlight a critical issue: the increasingly aggressive tactics being used to suppress platforms that resist governmental control. Telegram, known for its commitment to privacy and free communication, now stands as a symbol of resistance against the EU's expanding reach into digital spaces.

This situation raises important questions about the future of free speech in Europe and the lengths to which authorities will go to maintain control over online narratives. As the digital age evolves, the fight to preserve the right to free and open communication becomes ever more crucial.

REMINDER: #Telegram is not a #privacy app. Groups cannot be encrypted, 1-to-1 conversations aren't encrypted by default. It's because Telegram has plaintext messages on their servers that they are sued (not the case for WhatsApp or Signal!)
