Could this mark a turning point for tech titans who reap huge profits for the “anything goes” content served up on their platforms?
Free speech absolutists including Elon Musk up in arms over the weekend arrest in Paris of the 39-year old founder of Telegram. How strong a case against the Russian-born Pavel Durov and his encrypted social medium, Telegram that’s popular among dissidents and pro-Putin milibloggers alike.
Durov’s detention comes as online hate speech and disinformation continues to spiral as evidenced with the false narrative spun on social media during the UK’s recent far-right riots.
