I don't know what to name it, but it is clear that Telegram has helped a lot to have a site that is somewhat more free for everyone.

I honestly don't know what name or noun can be given to the CEO, after being accused of several charges, but the question is who benefits from this type of actions?

Crazy how much telegram was used by orgs and processes that have better options but just didn't.. Lots more to this

Depending on the org and task is let's assume military has secure coms that are not shit. But Matrix or any service you can host and control encryption keys. Personally for small groups SimpleX has been great so far. keet gets a lot of love but I have not used it a lot. Really depends on the primary attribute needed

Pre NOSTR I thought secure scuttlebutt (SSB) was pretty amazing in terms of its ability to be resilient.

I think this could be a lure to get musk to get in line. I don't think he will, but remember he has a lot of companies and potential business to loose if he doesn't play his cards correctly.

He has bent the knee to foreign countries many times. He is much more a carnival barker than any of the other personas people apply to him.

He could be picking and choosing his battles? He can't win every single one. Not a fan, but I have noticed he has bent the knee a lot less than other tech leaders.
