🚨🇪🇺 TELEGRAM CEO: EU USES "IMPOSSIBLE RULES" TO FORCE TECH FIRMS TO CENSOR FREE SPEECH Telegram CEO Pavel Durov exposed the European Union's censorship playbook, revealing how Brussels weaponizes impossible regulations to punish platforms that refuse to silently suppress speech, pointing to France's intimidation tactics and intelligence services offering "help" with compliance: "The EU imposes impossible rules so it can punish tech firms that refuse to silently censor free speech. We saw the same in France: a baseless 'criminal investigation', then intelligence services offering to help with it if Telegram quietly censored speech in Romania and Moldova." The EU's strategy is now completely exposed. Create deliberately impossible rules, launch sham investigations against platforms that won't comply, then offer backroom deals to censor quietly in exchange for leniency. When companies like X and Telegram refuse, Brussels retaliates with massive fines and criminal charges. This isn't regulation, it's extortion disguised as law enforcement. Source: @durov
