“Just turning off Telegram won’t work” – Germany plans to tighten control over the work of the messenger

Welt published a rather radical article about Telegram. The messenger is represented by a Russian company headquartered somewhere in Dubai. A messenger in which terrorists communicate and calls for murder and violence are openly heard.

On the one hand, adequate moderation of content on the Internet is really necessary. On the other hand, who will determine where that line is. And how not to violate the human right to privacy and freedom of speech.

Due to Pavel Durov's refusal to cooperate with the authorities, more and more governments are ready to tighten rules, fines and bans. Earlier in Germany, they did not rule out the possibility of blocking the messenger.

But German government agencies are trying to establish contact with Telegram representatives and achieve cooperation.
