The Supreme Court ruled that the obstruction law (1512(c)(2)) used against January 6 defendants was misapplied, opening the door for their release. Congress must act now.
For over three years, many have been unjustly imprisoned due to the government's misuse of 1512(c)(2). This law was meant for evidence tampering, not broader actions. January 6 protesters exercised their right to peacefully protest and were treated as political prisoners. This attack on our First Amendment rights must end.

But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy."
