    Telegram announced on Monday that they will hand over users' IP addresses
    and phone numbers in response to "valid legal requests" from governments
    around the world.

    Telegram has been a thorn in the side of governments for years now for
    allowing free speech and French President Emmanuel Macron appears to have solved that "problem" by having Telegram founder Pavel Durov arrested and indicted.

    "Western liberal democracies" cannot tolerate any corner of the internet allowing free speech.

    the url https://informationliberation.com/ does appear to open normally
    in tor browser . . . but caveat emptor, these politically-charged types
    of propaganda forums could easily be storefront operations disguised as
    passive opposition to big brother, which everyone knows is pollyannaish
