FRANCE IS FOR CRIME, AGAINST FREEDOM Well said https://t.co/BerKYejygV — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 25, 2024 François asks a good question. My answer is: France doesn't care about crime, they care about control. 1) First, Macron hasn't wiped out crime among 70M Frenchmen with all the power of the French State. So it's completely unreasonable to expect Durov to wipe out crime among 1B+ Telegram users with his minimal power of content moderation. 2) Second, the deeper point is that the French state is deeply uninterested in public safety! They allow violent crime, fundamentalist terrorism, and drug dealing to run rampant in France. Just compare Paris to what it was a few generations ago. 3) Third, is Macron held personally responsible for every beheading, rape, and robbery that occurs on French soil? Is he jailed when traveling for violating the human rights of French citizens by not "moderating" his community hard enough? No, he is not. Even though the tools of the French state are vastly greater than those of Telegram, over a vastly smaller userbase. Again: Macron has ~70M citizens to deal with, while Telegram has almost 1B users. 4) Finally, we already know what a real anti-crime policy looks like. It looks like @nayibbukele. And President Bukele is for encryption, and has invited programmers to build on El Salvadoran soil — an offer they'd be well-advised to take up. 5) So: France is an anarcho-tyrannical regime. It doesn't need sophisticated surveillance to stop drug dealing — because it's all happening in public! They know exactly where the criminals are, and the victims too. They are literally setting up spaces for them to do drugs till they die. I mean, does France need to imprison the CEO of Telegram to stop this? Fight for freedom! https://t.co/b4CkYvKqPa — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 25, 2024 pic.twitter.com/XNP0LvZIs9 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 28, 2024

Breaking: 🚨🚨🚨 Dictator and Supreme Court “Justice” Alexandre de Moraes froze Starlink assets and blocked its bank accounts in Brazil. This has nothing to do with Starlink, it was merely retaliation because X has no assets or representative in Brazil. Elon Musk refuses to… pic.twitter.com/28C4sOkCIs — Wall Street Silver (@WallStreetSilv) August 29, 2024 Elon Musk refuses to appoint a legal representative of the social network X in Brazil because that person would immediately be jailed without due process. From the comments: The CIA ran a coup against Bolsonaro because he's a right wing populist. The only person they could beat him with is a legitimate communist. Now the CIA has to deal with the communist, who wants BRICS currency and is going to cut off trade with the US when we go to war with Russia (openly) and China. The CIA is incompetent and ideologically compromised. Shut them down, lock all their agents up in a Texas jail and do interviews and record checks to identify traitors and put them on trials.
