Can't help but notice that the reason for the Telegram CEO being arrested in France seems to have shifted from "failure to moderate the platform" (in the original reporting) to "failure to hand over user identities to cops" (Telegram updated their T&C to hand over data).
Those are two VERY different things.

@joepie91 Do you have any links to that updated reporting? I know quite a few folks who'd like to know about that. It's the kind of thing that'd push some of them to start using Signal instead.

@KinkyKobolds One link I could easily find in my history is https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/23/telegram_tcs_suspect_info/, but the narrative seems to have shifted more broadly across media

@joepie91 Thanks for the link. That's a big policy change, especially as it now means any crimes could result in your info being handed to the authority, and in some regimes simply being LGBTQ+ is a crime punishable by death.
