in reply to anonymiss • • •Many more CEOs should be arrested then.
Pockets in clothing facilitate the concealment of many kinds of weapons and illegal contraband (like heroine). Buildings without spy cameras and microphones in every room facilitate private conversations in which all kinds of crimes can be planned. Bicycles facilitate the transportation of criminals to and from the scenes of their crimes.
But the point of the article is that Telegram purports to provide private communications but does not.
There's a pretty good article about this at Ars. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/08/telegram-ceo-pavel-durov-awaits-charges-in-france-as-firm-denies-law-breaking/

You're focused on the shiny object being dangled. Telegrams private messages (secret chats) are encrypted, and that's what this is about. Lavrentiy Beria is rumored to have once said to Josef Stalin, "Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime." It has been painfully apparent in recent years that if the politically powerful don't like you, they will find a way to punish you, in ways that would make Lavrentiy Beria proud.
