Watch his interview with Tucker Carlson and you’ll see. He doesn’t acquiesce to government requests for moderation control, censorship, and sharing private user data so they target him. He refuses to implement backdoors as well. In stark contrast to western social media companies.

This seems like the Kim Dotcom situation again. Why are these service providers being punished for what their users do? Specifically, these service providers?
