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.

"There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. Anastasia Vlasova/Getty Images In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe.
