I nonetheless discover the reactions to the Telegram state of affairs with Durov's arrest odd. There are little doubt all kinds of politics surrounding it, however even placing all that apart for a second, the assertion {that a} platform supplier shouldn’t be held accountable for moderating content material on the platform is simply nuts. As I say on this week's video, there's a number of content material that you could put within the "gray" bucket (free speech versus hate speech, for instance) and there are legitimate arguments available there. However there's additionally a bunch of content material on Telegram that's not even near gray, it's the outright unlawful recalcitrant stuff that there should be accountability for while you're working the platform that permits folks to publish this content material. This goes nicely past direct interpersonal communication on real E2E encrypted platforms like Sign (or the horrible analogy of Telegram by some means being "identical to AT&T"), and the present state of affairs in France actually shouldn't be that shocking. Extra on this week's video:
