Morning, probably a short on today seeing as it’s Sunday.
It really should be obvious by now what’s going on in the West. Governments are losing control of the narrative and are starting to take steps to regain it. Those who refuse to work with them will be harassed until they do. No government wants to shut these platforms down, they’re far too useful for intelligence gathering and as tools to run their own operations - see most of what goes on in Eastern Europe and closer to home the completely astroturfed 100 far right riots day - it’s about having more influence over them. Look at WhatsApp, bent the knee and now you can’t say anything on there that might get you fast tracked to a Starmer Cage. Telegram will likely keep running, but effectively seized by having an approved individual, probably from inside the organisation who’s already corrupted and waiting in the wings, take it over. Or they just pressure Pavel with a ridiculous sentence/punishment by process until he bends also.
Which is of course the point. Why bother, you’ll end up in prison. Sit on your free hands citizen, enjoy your freedom.
I know you think that asylum seekers stabbing people is the problem and you question whether the west importing thousands of people opposed to your way of life is sensible, but I’m much more intelligent than you, I’m on TV, I have a sensible haircut, a suit but no tie in a crafted attempt to seem more approachable whilst still retaining a level of professional credibility, and my career absolute does not hang precariously by the thread of saying the words approved by my paymasters - I think you’ll find the problem is actually the far right. I even have establishment rent-a-voice Yasmin Alihabai-Brown sat next to me, she’s a muslim so undoubtably understands this issue at a level that as a non-muslim, you’re incapable of. Better just get back in your box and join the stab queue.
