The arrest of the founder of the Telegram social media platform, Pavel Durov, is the story of Julian Assange beginning all over again. Right, so the targeting of any social media platform should be a cause for great concern to everyone regardless of your political persuasion, regardless of whether you are even into politics, it’s very easy for this story to be approached from a purely political perspective, it’s frankly for anyone who uses social media, who chooses to use a given platform over another for whatever purpose, be it politics, to sharing your day and what you’re having for tea or putting out those holiday snaps to make the rest of us green with envy, whatever floats your boat, whatever social media means to you. There’s no getting away from the fact though, that like everything in life, it is political to a point and for those of us who immerse ourselves in politics, opine upon it, write about it, rant about it should you be so inclined, it is the platform by which you voice gets heard. No more do we just accept what newspapers owned by billionaires tell us, we can respond to that. No more do we accept appalling conduct in tv interviews by either presenter or guest without having the ability to pass comment on that. But there comes a point when establishment interests try to shut down those speaking out on issues they don’t like people talking about. The prime example of that is Julian Assange, locked up for the crime of being a journalist, now thankfully free and living his life once again, There’s the recent treatment of Richard Medhurst, another journalist treated like a terrorist for doing his job. But now it’s a social media platform under attack for allowing the conveyance of information the powers that be don’t like and if successful, where do you think that ends? Right, so of course we’re talking about the goings on at Telegram here and the arrest of it’s boss Pavel Durov in France and really we do have to look at the charges first and foremost to pull this story apart, because it needs to be absolutely shredded if social media is to survive with all the freedoms of expression we are entitled to use within the rules and regs of course, of the platform we might choose. There are 12 charges levelled at Durov following his arrest in Paris last Saturday by the French Prosecutor: ‘This judicial investigation was opened against person unnamed, on charges of: - Complicity – web-mastering an online platform in order to enable an illegal transaction in organized group, - Refusal to communicate, at the request of competent authorities, information or documents necessary for carrying out and operating interceptions allowed by law, - Complicity – possessing [indecent] images of minors, - Complicity - distributing, offering or making available [indecent] images of minors, in organized group, - Complicity - acquiring, transporting, possessing, offering or selling narcotic substances, - Complicity - offering, selling or making available, without legitimate reason, equipment, tools, programs or data designed for or adapted to get access to and to damage the operation of an automated data processing system... ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
