Coercion and physical violence are not mutually exclusive. While coercion generally refers to the use of threats, intimidation, or psychological pressure to compel an individual to act involuntarily, actual physical violence can be an extension of coercion rather than a separate concept.
Coercion involves forcing someone to act against their will through threats, intimidation, or undue pressure. Examples: "If you do not comply, we will harm you.", Threats of economic or social destruction., Psychological manipulation, blackmail, or extreme duress.
If violence is inflicted to extract compliance, it is a form of coercion through force. If violence is inflicted as an end in itself (e.g., for sadistic punishment or revenge), it may not be coercion but outright physical assault, torture, or abuse. Example: "We will continue beating you until you agree to sign this document."
Torture is a subset of Coercion + Violence (it's both). It aims to force compliance or extract information through suffering. E.g. Withholding essential medical treatment until the person agrees to submit to psychiatric intervention.

"He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said. Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee.
