Banned from Social Media (Skype, Telegram, Snapchat, etc)? Here’s why
One of our members was recently banned from Telegram for hate speech on Telegram. The most likely cause was alleged “hate speech”. Here are the things you can be banned for:

Here is the post that got them banned:
There have also been occasional polls of most- and least-loved majors. In one 2022 survey of 1,500 job candidates, the employment site ZipRecruiter enumerated the most-regretted majors:
- Journalism, regretted by 87% of grads
- Sociology, 72%
- Liberal arts and general studies, 72%
- Communications, 64%
- Education, 61%
The trigger phrase in the above was “least-loved”, which likely is a synonym for hate speech.
The rule of thumb to avoid the ban: You aren’t allowed to talk about what you or other people dislike in relation to human beings because it’s hate speech. That’s our best guess.
The inmates on the federal plantation aren’t allowed to dislike their cage or other inmates. We’re all just supposed to be happy campers who love bending over for Uncle Sam. And if we DON’T, well then we’ll be banned and cancelled as a punishment.
Ironically, being banned and cancelled or persecuted is what gets most people interested in freedom to begin with!
In one of my articles, I accuse Facebook censorship guidelines against hate as an act of hate.

How ironic that fighting hate requires hate. Cancelling and banning are acts of hate and discrimination.

None of this surprises us, because currently the founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, a Russian Dissident living in Dubai, was picked up recently by French authorities when he landed in a private airplane in France. He is accused of fostering hate speech and criminal activities on his social media platform. The French authorities think he should be an uncompensated spy and snitch on their behalf against people using his social media platform. They probably also want a crypto back door to his platform so they can do the spying also. Pavel didn’t want to do that but he won’t get out of jail until he allows it.
You can watch the last interview he did before he was arrested below. That interview probably triggered the arrest because he admitted that he was the sole owner of Telegram, which we think was a huge mistake.

Note in the above interview that Pavel admitted that the first time he visited America, he was mugged on the streets of San Francisco by three thugs who wanted to steal his phone. It was probably the CIA or FBI who, like the French authorities, want him to spy for them. He said America is the place he felt the LEAST safe and that he never wanted to go back there. He made it sound like it was even less safe then his homeland of Russia! He said the CIA and FBI kept harassing him about the API’s he is using so they could add a backdoor to the code that runs his platform for spying purposes.
Velcome to gulag Amerika, Comrade!
The member who had this problem submitted trouble tickets and contacted the Spambot at telegram to get them to admit the cause of the censorship. There was never a reason provided.
