Breaking encryption of private messaging is not the same as not letting propaganda run rampant and to try to equate them is bad-faith propaganda itself.

      No idea, my guess would be some software migration where it was too much work to copy the old posts over, but I'm not familiar with what happened.

  I don't think it's a matter of lack of principles or pander to $CURRENT_POLITICS. This article is simply about justifying political repression. Then the repression proved ineffective, the article became needless, and since justifying political repression is a rather toxic activity, the article was removed.
