From the company telegram
可的好的好的好的
Telegram put out a short post on sunday
Saying that the raff had quote nothing to hide
And that the company abides by eu laws
The poalso also said it
It quote absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse on that platform
And that it was waiting for a prompt resolution to all this
I memean all of this seems to have prompted a broader debate about free speech
What
What you've been hearing
What of people been saying about it
好的好的
Well a number of well known individuals have spoken out against this arrested you
People
People like elon musque who calls himself a free speech absolutes who posted the hash tag free povel on his platform x talk or carlson who interviewed derrove this past spring also slam the french government on x saying quote darknesses descending fast on the formerly free world
对对对
And then you have some of the highest levels of government
Who was poken out a mmetry medidiadev
The former russian president suggested on telegram
That derrave was being persecuted
Because he was russian
That appeared to have prompted french president amanumchole to write on x
That derraves arrest was not politically motivated
And that was up to the judges to decide
But that have to say this would would appear to the harharest action
Any government has taken against a social media chief to date matter ororter bearassment in london
