They take money away from hardworking people of France with outrageously high taxes and spend them on waging useless wars in the Middle East and on creating parasitic social paradise for North African immigrants. It is a disgrace to see Paris in the hands of shortsighted socialists who ruin this beautiful place. I hope they and their policies go away forever and this city will once again shine in its full glory – safe, rich and beautiful.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.instagram.com&amp;#x2F;p&amp;#x2F;-MrPWGr7aL&amp;#x2F;?taken-by=durov&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.instagram.com&amp;#x2F;p&amp;#x2F;-MrPWGr7aL&amp;#x2F;?taken-by=durov&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

Telegram is banning ISIS&amp;#x27;s public channels, not snooping on and censoring their private communications. That is moderation of a public facing platform which isn&amp;#x27;t an invasion of privacy and doesn&amp;#x27;t necessarily compromise Telegram&amp;#x27;s security.</text></comment>
