While I agree that Europe has become a socialist shit hole this isn't really about that other than the fact that once people are addicted to social welfare they become pretty compliant and usually support maws and policies of those in power as long as they get their dole. What we're seeing is totalitarianism unfold across Europe in the name of social justice. How did they get there? See my comment above. Regardless this should deeply concern us as we aren't immune to the will of these tyrants. In the case of Musk he's a US citizen and arresting him would have repercussions if the US didn't agree with the arrest. So Nov will tell if Musk is in any real trouble or not…. Another lesson here is that this is clearly what happens when you disarm an entire population. And yes, NATO, at least in its current form is vestigial and needs to go…. |

Putin is not winning. He has devastated his economy, his military has become a pillaging mob and no one around him can be trusted. I would not be surprised if he took drugs to sleep at night. The reality is Putin must not be allowed to profit from his war crimes. Whatever it takes for him to lose needs to be done. |

if some neocons right here at home had their way they would do the exact same thing about speech they don't agree with.

Spend more time concerned with Mordor on the Potomac, that's the immediate threat we face. Does misinformation and propaganda flow out of Moscow or Beijing? Of course, same as it ever was. As things currently sit, DC is more of a threat to this nation than Moscow. |

Like more than half the US, most every illegal alien in the US, European nations are also parasites living off the US taxpayer. We not only need to end welfare at least at the federal level in the US we need out of NATO, we need to force personal responsibility on the the US population as well as the European nations. When those nations have to spend money to defend themselves socialism will start collapsing. |

This is a thread about progress being made towards fighting people who were actually communists and who actually facilitate molesting kids and who actually don't give two fucks about anyone's individual liberties and who actually hate the Constitution and the American project. The ubiquity of broadband internet has been a tremendous boon for them because it allows them to take legions of gullible Western rubes, primed by decades of left-wing Hollywood conspiracy-theory indoctrination, into their information space and put worms into their brains.

No but a platform operator can't just say 'Fuck it, freedom of speech lol' if they are aware of a scammer operating on their platform. Again nobody in GD has any idea of the evidence France has got against the guy. The arresting charges mention drugs, scams and sexual exploitation of minors and what I assume to be non compliance with warrants for information. What I would guessed to have happened is that a French court issued a court order/warrant for information about a user(s) in relation to the previous crimes and Telegram choose not to comply. Here in NL and maybe France/US ignoring a court order is a criminal offence. |
