Vitalik responds to the arrest of Telegram founder: The future of European software and communication freedom is worrying

Vitalik Buterin wrote on X about the "arrest of Telegram founder": "I have criticized Telegram before for not taking encryption seriously.

But (considering the information so far: the charges seem to be just 'unmoderated' and have not given up people's data), this looks very bad, and the future of European software and communication freedom is worrying."
