🇫🇷 Durov had all his passports taken away and was only allowed to live at an address determined by a judge
The founder of Telegram will not have to wear an electronic bracelet, Liberation writes, citing explanations from the Paris prosecutor's office. However, he must live only at the address determined by the judge.
Durov is not under house arrest and can move around France, but only under restrictions set by the court, the prosecutor's office explained. When moving, he will have to agree on a new address with the judge.
Also, Durov, who is left without passports, must report to the police station twice a week.

"Fortunately, this attempt to create a society in which self-discipline is vilified is doomed to failure. Aristotle understood this when he insisted that the well-ordered, virtuous individual of the Ethics must precede the well-ordered state of the Politics. Self-control makes strong men. Self-indulgence makes weak men. Strong men make good citizens. Weak men make good slaves. Strong men are capable of doing harm. Weak men are incapable of doing anything else."

To cut a water droplet in half, you just need a knife made from hydrophobic (water-repellent) materials and a hydrophobic surface. The hydrophobic properties prevent the water from sticking to the knife or surface, allowing the droplet to be neatly split into two.

Top ActBlue Donor in Colorado Questions $230K in Donations: 'I’ve Been Retired So I don’t Have Steady Income' Amid Fundraising Suspicions
"No, my money’s not being stolen. There’s nothing there to steal," insists Sonia ImMasche, a retired Colorado resident, who has reportedly donated over $230,000 to ActBlue from 2017 to 2023. Living in a retirement home and having been retired for 21 years, ImMasche finds it hard to believe she could have contributed such a large amount. "It’s kind of expensive to live here, and I’ve been retired for 21 years, so I don’t necessarily have steady income," she explains, raising doubts about the legitimacy of these donations in her name.
ImMasche's concerns are compounded by a 2014 New York Times article that featured her as a top donor for ActBlue, where she remarked, "It can get addictive" to keep donating. Reflecting on her history of contributions, she admits, "I started out giving like $25 a month." However, she has since scaled back, saying, "Now I'm down to $10 and $15 at the most."
Despite her conviction that no one is using her name fraudulently, ImMasche acknowledges that her son was alarmed by the volume of contributions, stating, "My son was having a breakdown. He was tracking my credit card and was going, ‘My God, you're donating way too much to politics.’" While she stands by the small amounts, she admits, "I’ve cut back quite a bit. Living here has kind of cut into my finances."
ImMasche’s situation is part of a larger pattern emerging across the country, where donors are linked to massive sums they struggle to account for.

In 1926, Grozny was a predominantly Russian city. At that time, Chechens made up only 2.25% of the population, and this was before their deportation to Central Asia. Eighty-four years later, in 2010, the number of Russians had dropped from ~80% to 3.3%, while the number of Chechens had soared from 2.25% to 93.73%. How could this have happened in such a short period of time? The answer is simple - ethnic cleansing.
The ethnic cleansing of the city took place in two stages. First, Soviet indoctrination largely erased Russian national identity, turning people into "Soviets" rather than Russians. At the same time, other ethnic identities were not eliminated and in most cases, they became even more prominent than they had been before. When the USSR began to collapse, Chechen criminals and militants flocked to the city and began harassing, robbing, and attacking Russians (and other non-Chechens), on the basis of ethnicity. They would throw grenades into apartments, shoot random people on the street, rape young girls and burn old folks alive. As a result, more than 100,000 people left their hometown, until the city became predominantly Chechen within less than a century. This is what happens when people lose their sense of identity and become overly dependent on the government.
