🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'How Telegram's Founder Pavel Durov Became a Culture War Martyr'

26 August 2024 - kudos:

I’ve been trying to think through Durov’s arrest since I first heard about it—there are a lot of complex things going on here. I think this captures nicely my thoughts and taught me a few things, too. Telegram is a sketchy platform (technically even more than in terms of content), but that doesn’t mean arresting the founder is warranted. Yet, that doesn’t mean that outcry on the right is in good faith, either.
