Telegram messaging app CEO Pavel Durov arrested in France

TF1 and BFM both said the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram, and that police considered that this situation allowed criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.

Hell yeah, do Elon next

Dear Republicans of Tulsa you can elect 'em if we can nominate 'em.

This is pretty funny. I kind of think it’s too much regulation, given that the “victims” of the “rampant crime” don’t want it. That said, it’s pretty funny seeing the corporations who have been complaining about retail theft suddenly downplay it when a proposal to stop it requires them to spend more money.

It’s pretty obvious to me that they are losing less in additional theft than they would pay extra employees, and what they really want is taxpayer subsided security (more cops).

The impacted businesses have said the bill is really about staffing, not safety.

I mean, yeah, obviously. It’s extra funny that the bill is being promoted as a way to call their bluff on retail crime though, lol.
