Judas, an Apostle of Christ, βone of the twelve,β as the Evangelists sadly observes, was led down to the abyss of iniquity precisely through the spirit of greed for earthly things.
- Pope Pius XI Encyclical Ad Catholici Sacredotii, n. 49
βPoor Judas! Above seventeen hundred years have elapsed since he has been in Hell, and his Hell is still only beginning.β
- St. Alphonsus Liguori: Consideration XXVII, The Eternity of Hell
βthe betrayal of Judas was an act of infinite sacrilege, perpetrated directly against the very Person of Christ and God. Wherefore it is exceedingly probable that Judas abides in the deepest pit of Gehenna, near to Luciferβ

Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. Messages are not fully encrypted by default. That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government. For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content. 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 βno plans to go back,β saying that the nation was currently βincompatible with internet business at the moment.β He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. Update March 8, 2022: EFF has clarified that Channels and Groups are not fully encrypted, end-to-end, updated our post to link to Telegramβs FAQ for Cloud and Secret chats, updated to clarify that auto-delete is available for group and channel admins, and added some additional links.
