I really doubt Washington Posts' sympathies lie with poor ISIS because they lost some social media accounts. If they were condemning anyone (which they weren't), it was Pavel Durov himself, not Telegram. This piece was about Durov's sudden 180 degree turn from "I will not censor anyone under any circumstance" to "I will have to censor some people under some circumstances, but not when it counts." It also recalls similar events at VKontakte, where he refused to give up data until he was forced to leave the country (presumably leaving VKontakte vulnerable to the government). (Edited to clarify that I meant it was Pavel Durov as opposed to his company.)
