I really doubt Washington Posts&#x27; sympathies lie with poor ISIS because they lost some social media accounts. If they were condemning anyone (which they weren&#x27;t), it was Pavel Durov himself, not Telegram.<p>This piece was about Durov&#x27;s sudden 180 degree turn from &quot;I will not censor anyone under any circumstance&quot; to &quot;I will have to censor some people under some circumstances, but not when it counts.&quot; It also recalls similar events at VKontakte, where he refused to give up data until he was forced to leave the country (presumably leaving VKontakte vulnerable to the government).<p>(Edited to clarify that I meant it was Pavel Durov as opposed to his company.)
