I am not a Durov fan, but wouldn’t it make sense that if a top exec of a platform is criminally liable for the crimes happening on the platform, the head of state who has an authority to use force against the citizens should be legally liable for crimes happening in their country?

Edit: the argument about Durov not ”trying to do anything” after the French requests don't seem that relevant as it aligns with “I tried” excuse of a poor student’s missing homework, i.e. trying isn’t enough - crimes are either stopped or they aren’t.

Edit2: ha @ downvotes w/o any opinions.
