Russia and Iran already “closed” it years ago, and it just attracted more users.
Not surprised at all. The ÖR did their best to frame Telegram as the literal antichrist in the past few weeks.
What do they even mean with “close”? How would that work?
One month in the new government and we already start censoring the internet. And people laughed at Kramp-Karrenbauer because of her destain for the internet.
Kinda surprising to me because Germany’s often pretty hesitant at closing (or forbidding) stuff…
I really hope FDP will block this idiotic idea.
They should try and send a fax to Durov, maybe he’ll respond.
What did it do (that WhatsApp/Threema hasn’t)?
Treating the symptom instead of the cause will surely work this time.
It’s the same with stupid opinions on Facebook – if you remove the people from the platform, they will just magically disappear and/or change their stupid opinion as a result.
There’s no way that they will just gravitate towards even more extreme places and deeply entrench themselves. Nope, that never happens.
