Telegram's founder just dropped some serious allegations about regulatory overreach. Durov claims EU lawmakers are exploiting public concern over child safety as a trojan horse for widespread surveillance and content censorship. The kicker? According to him, these proposed surveillance laws conveniently carve out exemptions for EU officials themselves—their own messages wouldn't face the same scrutiny they're demanding for everyone else. It's a classic case of "rules for thee but not for me," raising questions about whether privacy rights are being sacrificed under the guise of protection, while those writing the rules keep their own communications untouched.

It's another trap, using the banner of child protection to conduct surveillance, while opening backdoors for themselves, a typical bureaucratic PI.

Here we go again... Surveillance under the guise of child safety, it's really absurd --- What Durov said this time is not without reason; those EU people exempted themselves from scrutiny --- Laughing my ass off, the ones making the rules are giving themselves loopholes; isn't this the problem that web3 is supposed to solve? --- The Trojan horse analogy is spot on; what is claimed and what is reality are two different things, an old trick --- Privacy used as a pretext is truly ironic... this is why Decentralization is needed --- Wait, officials' own information isn't scrutinized? This logic is indeed outrageous --- Durov has the guts to say it, but this statement will probably be labeled as incitement in the EU --- Double standards are in full swing; under the guise of protecting children, they surveil the public while enjoying their own freedom.

It's the same old trick again, secretly installing surveillance under the guise of protecting children, while they hide in the exemption zone... The double standards are truly outrageous.

Here it comes again, using child safety as a shield, it's really the same old trick. Who can't see that the officials have their own backdoor?

Durov is back, this time pointing out the EU's "I'm doing this for your own good" tricks... Quite harsh, as it directly exposes the hypocrisy of the bureaucrats.

Another trap of "It's for your own good" has come, actually it's for their own good.

Here we go again, using the guise of protecting children to conduct surveillance, classic old trap. --- Durov is right, power is always self-exempting, that has never changed. --- Laughing to death, they don’t check their own messages, but check ours? This is truly double standards. --- The metaphor of the Trojan Horse is brilliant, doing bad things under the guise of goodwill. --- Privacy is probably going to get more and more expensive, just wait. --- This is ridiculous, on one hand protecting children, on the other hand opening back doors for themselves, they really dare. --- The EU's move is really clever, first taking the moral high ground, then doing whatever they want in a justified manner. --- I agree with Durov, regulation is essentially a tool for the powerful to control the powerless. --- A bunch of hypocritical clauses, in the end, it's the ordinary users who suffer. --- Power needs to be constrained, otherwise it’s just a double standards game.
