Speaking of butt-lickers for freedom of speech, are Null & KiwiFarms following the news about the arrest of Pavel Durov? Just bringing this to their attention since I know they're all heavy Telegram users:
I remember Kiwis asking me to make a Telegram account during #DropKiwiFarms to join their dumpster fire of a chat. I did try to sign up (just to keep up with site updates, not to participate) but declined the moment it demanded my mobile phone number - when I just wanted to use the app on the desktop, not on a mobile phone. I never signed up as a result.
