    From translating TFA:

    Justice considers that the absence of moderation, cooperation with law enforcement and the tools offered by Telegram (disposable number, cryptocurrencies, etc.) makes it complicit in drug trafficking, child crime offenses and fraud.

    Same reason Russia wanted to arrest him, failure to do the government’s bidding.

      Next they’ll make encrypting your own files illegal. Absolutely preposterous. Do better police work!

      Oh for fucks sake I’m so tired of this bullshit.

      Governments nowadays are constantly acting like a tech platform has a responsibility eliminate privacy for users because if they have privacy, then they can’t be tracked. It’s infuriating.
