Articles about Telegram and similar encryption problems always tend to hit the very manipulative topics. Terrorism and CSAM are always used. The four horsemen methodology for control.
The point is to emotionally manipulate the audience into complicity. To cause people not to question the underlying privacy and legal issues.
Instead they want the reader to have thoughts of large numbers of people, in organized networks presumably, that want to cause terror to them or harm to their children.
This causes a reaction in many people to forget about basic rights and focus on the fear they have been given instead.
I'm sure France and the U.S. have a million reasons to want this data from the Ukraine war, to probably some cases of the things they claim. However, it is definitely exaggerated and no one should be willing to trade the ability to communicate privately out of some fear that people who want to harm you are also able to communicate privately.
None of it really makes any logical sense because at the end of the day, to end all encryption means the Government would have to basically criminalize math.
So of course they rely on the reliable methods of emotional manipulation. I mean, they should have a blank check to go after this guy and anyone else, right? You don't support terrorism do you???
