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.

Heck yes.

I knew my distrust of spellcheck would be validated one day! Seriously, though, this is bad news.

We can prosecute criminals without weakening encryption.
