  Look at that!

  A few nights in French jail worked wonders.

    It’s like I always say, violence and torture work so well you don’t even have to do them in the first place. Just saying you will unless they comply is enough.

  Durov – who has citizenship in France as well as Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Caribbean archipelago of St. Kitts and Nevis

  How can someone have four simultaneous citizenships?

  Is it money? Gotta be money.

    In Canada and New Zealand you can literally buy citizenship. You just need the funds. It’s a real and legitimate process.

      Almost every country has a way to get citizenship in exchange of money

      I wonder if anyone rich enough has decided on undertaking the quest to get and hold as many citizenships as possible.

      There’d probably be difficulty though getting simultaneous citizenships for North Korea / South Korea citizenship, Russia / Ukraine, or Republic of China / People’s Republic of China.

      In Australia you can buy permanent residency, which is then a pathway to citizenship.

    Oh hell yeah it’s money. It’s called economic citizenship and there are plenty of countries out there that are willing to let you buy in with ownership of properties and business.

    There are only a handful of countries out there that don’t allow dual citizenship.

    My kids are entitled to 5 citizenships. 2 from me and 3 from their mum.

    I only use Telegram for my Warhammer 40k group…Authorities seizing that will get them years of mindless chatter about the Emperor, memes and battle reports. Fuck they will pay us to leave Telegram

    Most countries let you have multiple citizenships. Unless a country restricts you from doing so, you can have as many as you want.

  I wish Telegram would just enable default E2EE. Oh well, time to switch to Signal!

    And if they had implented that to begin with and used servers that kept no logs he wouldn’t have anything of value to hand over.

    He built the damn situation for himself, and the fact that such issues weren’t considered practically screams “honeypot.”

    • brbposting@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      they would have had to release him

      Maybe we could say he wouldn’t be in this situation because he could’ve responded to every request his company got and they could’ve provided all of the zero logs they had.

      I believe Telegram just wasn’t cooperating at all which is wild! Such a Musk thing to do.

    Anyone who used Telegram as a private communications channel in the first place is an idiot.

    Just keep in mind that any service that asks for a phone number can also disclose it.

    I hope what leaves the Signal client is a hash of your phone number, rather than the number itself. They might even be using salts and expensive-to-execute key derivation functions, to mitigate brute force searches (which are otherwise easy given the relatively small search space of phone numbers). But if compelled, it would be trivial for Signal to change that behavior.

  France wanted a backdoor… they got it, and Telegram was never trustworthy…

    France probably wanted it to catch people organizing demonstrations.
