    Not really comparable because the illegal content is hosted and distributed through his servers.

    landlords should be prosecuted for crimes commited by tenants in houses they rented out to the tenants.

      I mean depending on the crimes, yeah. If a child porn ring runs out of your building and you’re alerted to its continued existence, and the police are asking who lives there and you don’t tell them and keep renting to them? Yeah.

      If the landlord knows it’s happening and let it happen then yeah, that’s what being complicit is all about

          Well, telegram has public and private conversations. So in this example, you’d know because they were having trafficking parties on their front yard and the police of multiple countries notified them to let them know. And then you were aware of this issue so you purposely avoided being in numerous countries that want to arrest you. Seems like he knew.

      People need houses to live. Taking stuff off your own server doesn’t throw someone out onto the streets and leave them to the elements. Come on lol
