Arrogant ‘King’ Macron bids to Gag Global South – France has only 0.7% of world Telegram users-

Jailing Durov is like incarcerating the Post Office for “illegal” statements written in private letters…

Over 950 MILLION of us use Telegram, but only 6 million in France – yet with supreme arrogance power junkie Macron tries to deprive us all of freedom to express, create., and organize without police and State control.

Consider the Indian state with 100 million users, where tens of millions of farmers and day workers use Telegram in resisting destitution by Big Ag and Thatcherite capitalism.

And what about the giant Russian Federation which tried and failed to close down Telegram and had to back down and live with it, with over 34 million users in a dozen national cultures, thriving alongside the ultra nationalist regime.

What about Brazil?- where the oligarchy still own most of the land and the media, with over 22 million of us relying on free speech on Telegram, millions of homeless have a safe channel organizing in land and shantytown solidarity occupations.

And in the West? Every week we witness new laws restricting, censoring and closing down digital and basic public freedoms. Indeed reports claim that the US may be behind the French crackdown. 27 million people in the United States have downloaded Telegram and represent a pool of free speech and maybe a vital brake on totalitarian crowd-think in the capital of predator Capitalism.

Let’s not forget the millions in the Middle East, Egypt, Saudi, Turkey.. where open expression is often deadly dangerous, as well as Indonesia, Nigeria, Bangladesh Colombia, Mexico…. where repressed minorities could be deprived of safe contact by the hubris of ‘Little King’ Macron.

Anti-censorship activists have described Durov’s arrest as part of a wider campaign against free speech waged by Western governments, with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden accusing France of taking the entrepreneur “hostage” in order to access private communications on Telegram.
