No, France is great. At least the old France that I know.
But make them regret arresting Durov. Somehow without hurting the wine growers.
I don't care about some Russian nouveau riche. Telegram is a proprietary piece of crap and a honey pot.
Irrespective of whether Telegram is shit or not, arresting somebody for supporting free speech certainly is shit.
I don't know what his support for freedom of speech consists of.
Well if I understand correctly, he was exiled from Russia for refusing to censor anti-Russian information on Telegram. Now he is arrested in France for refusing to censor pro-Russian information on telegram. It sounds to me like he doesn't care about nation states, he only cares about privaacy and free speech. So irrespective of who uses telegram for what, or whether or not telegram is or isn't good technology, clearly this guy is one of us and we should support defenders of free speech, and therefore we should be against the French government. Of course if you are against all governments this is a no brainer.
and apple
What did I miss ???

Not looking forward to Freedom Fries again but LFG!
plenty of stuff comes from France other than Wine and Champagne. plenty of opportunities for boycott. my Magimix Food Processor for example is made in France. Solidworks is made by Dassault Systems that is French ... it is industry standard 3D CAD software.
Boycott the US. France did not arrest Durov in a vacuum. Mike Benz has hours of talk about this topic. Here's just a short version to get started: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TqmVLBe10i4
Boycott Brazil too
