    Left Russia because of the state pushing him out of VK for resisting orders over users involved in the Maidan thing in Ukraine, went thru special French naturalization for billionaires just to get arrested there.

    I just assumed Telegram was some NATO aligned thing from the start, whether this joker knew it or not. I guess that wasn’t entirely true.

    Guessing for not cooperating with intelligence and security agencies given the list of charges would easily apply to all the other social medias and chat apps

    I mean he was probably arrested for something else but anytime i checked my local chatgroups it was all people looking for hard drugs and underage girls. Some of them accounts who were crying on russian telegrams about trans people ruining kids. So that actually is a problem.

        this is the real reason they want to shut it down… Ukraine and Israel having hissy fits that people are seeing information they didn’t approve

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
