🥖 The French government is accusing X and Elon Musk of the very things the French government itself is doing: - Illegally collecting personal data - Processing personal data without proper security - Extracting data from automated systems - Violating the secrecy of electronic communications The French government is panicking. They know a major political shift in 2027 will expose their misdeeds. So they’re trying to silence free speech platforms under whatever pretext they think they can get away with. ✊ The free world should stand with Elon and X against this immoral assault by the French state. Telegram supports our brothers and sisters from X in their fight for our freedoms.

41 kidnappings of crypto holders in France in 3.5 months of 2026. Why? 🥖 French tax officials selling crypto owners' data to criminals (Ghalia C.) + massive tax database leaks. Now the same state also wants IDs and private messages of social media users. More data => More leaks => More victims. That’s why Telegram would rather leave the French market than give their corrupt bureaucrats access to private messages. 🐶
