Long vid, but interesting. Even post-Soviet proto-neo-imperialist Russia was interested in suppressing speech and assembly...
So shocking!

Gets mugged in San Franfeces!
Amerikan KGB greeting him on his visits to the US. Welcome to the New darker West. Don't be offended they spy on everybody...except communists, democrats (sorry, I repeat myself) anybody crooked and corrupt in "their" camp...kinda like the old Soviet Union.
Not sure UAE would be my choice, but if it serves his business purpose, plus you don't have to live there in the modern digital age a meeting is only a click away...
And Apple & Google abusing TOS guidelines to censor people...gosh, they just do it all the damn time with everybody!
They are nefarious. And, no wonder why government is so invasive in their demands on them and their affiliates et al to push leftist censorship through them...if they don't have direct access to the code they want them to be agents on their behalf to gag people.
And the natural organic growth of the enterprise...people wanting a good product offered by a lean well run organization and offering more freedom of use and privacy than almost anything else out there who refuses to give government their backdoors or to be bullied into censorship...people talk, people see...people act. Pavel says people are smart...well, some people are, not all.
And even he acknowledges while his platform may be private...the devices people use are compromised...which indicates the part of the chain that needs to be addressed by another bold visionary (what Pavel alludes to around the 51 minute mark of "new devices") to break the dominance of Google and Apple phones and other devices...devices free of government backdoors and lapdog crony capitalists...
I dunno if that happens before the global socialist corporatist deviant cabalists plunge the world into a bloody smoldering nightmare...
Tucker - So I shouldn't go into business with Mark Zuckerberg? Pavel - No comment.
Pavel is a bright guy, seems a totally normal guy...hope he makes it through...hope we (not
they/them) make it through!
