    To stop *poor* criminals. Rich criminals like senators and tech CEOs will still be able to do whatever they want.

    There is nothing new, his message says they’ve made the rules CLEARER.

  4. Interesting. Where’s the crown yelling about totalitarism and violation of privacy? They were yelling pretty loud when the same was proposed to Durov in Russia…
