Joseph de Maistre, Les Soirées de Saint-Pétersbourg, 2ème entretien :
« Nous savons très peu de choses sur les temps qui précédèrent le déluge, et même, suivant quelques conjectures plausibles, il ne nous conviendrait pas d'en savoir davantage. Une seule considération nous intéresse, et il ne faut jamais la perdre de vue : c'est que les châtiments sont toujours proportionnés aux connaissances du coupable ; de manière que le déluge suppose des crimes inouïs, et que ces crimes supposent des connaissances infiniment au-dessus de celles que nous possédons. Voilà ce qui est certain et ce qu'il faut approfondir. »

Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever." In a message on his Telegram channel recently recounting the episode, Durov wrote: "I lost my company and my home, but would do it again – without hesitation." "We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control. And this seems like an excuse to kick the can further down the road still and not do too much too soon." At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted.
