We often hear from apologists for homosexuality that the latter was the norm in the ancient world, especially in Rome and Greece. In fact, the myth of Greece being a homosexual utopia was popularized by Oscar Wilde, a know homosexual himself. Yet the texts and works of art tell a completely different story. In Athens, homosexuals were despised and obliged to declare their vice in ecclesia, after which they lost all civil rights. If they hid their vice, they were ostracized or executed. For them, there were derogatory nicknames such as euryproktos (wide anus) chaunoproktos (gaping anus) and lakkoproktos (anus like a pit).

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. In this regard, Sebi collaborated with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to reduce the vulnerability of the securities market to manipulation through misuse of mass communication medium like bulk SMS.
