Social media in general is a waste of time.  Its pretty much the internet equivalent of channel surfing because there is nothing good on to watch.

Pavel Durov, the co-founder and chief executive of the messaging service Telegram, was arrested and detained on Saturday, according to French media reports.

Law enforcement agents reportedly arrested Durov at Le Bourget Airport outside of Paris, where he was arriving on his private jet from Azerbaijan, according to multiple French press reports.

AFP reported that an arrest warrant had been issued for Durov as a result of an investigation into whether he has failed to crack down on illegal activity including drug trafficking, the promotion of terrorism and fraud on Telegram.

tl,dr: France arrested him because he won't censor their political opponents

I like the multiracial chicks like Lauren Chen... best of both worlds.

Attractive yet with shapely caucasian bottoms and boobs, able to operate machinery without crashing, then get home and cook up a special fried rice feast.

I get that. We have good government here that stays out of our business. I don't spend as much time thinking about politics as I was forced to back in Canada.

There's still too many snowflakes on the the X staff.
