 Telegram's CEO arrest is likely over Israel

--Israeli data hacked
--Leaked on Telegram
--Arrest is likely a response to a refusal to censor

Quotes from Anadolu from Aug 21st:

‘The leaks are likely the most severe in Israel’s history -- an unprecedented looting of gigabytes upon gigabytes of information of all sorts,’ says Israeli daily

"The leaked data has appeared on platforms like Telegram, prompting a series of takedown attempts by Israeli authorities. However, Telegram’s limited moderation policies have complicated these efforts."
