Zack Abrams / The Block :

@owocki @gitcoin I think that EF should be more willing to use tools built in the ecosystem (including in defi) even if it means we're not entirely neutral in that sense. Though we should of course do this very judiciously.

@balajis I've criticized Telegram before for not being serious with encryption. But (given the info available so far: the charge seems to be just being “unmoderated” and not giving up people's data), this looks very bad and worrying for the future of software and comms freedom in Europe.
