the founder of Telegram charges against Pedro Sánchez and sends a massive message

He package of measures of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to regulate social networks has not only aroused the ire of Elon Musk, who has launched several disqualifications through X. It has also provoked a reaction from the CEO and co-founder of Telegram. Pável Dúrov is sending a message this afternoon to Spanish users of the platform in which he frontally rejects the proposal and warns of what, in his opinion, would be its consequences. Hey, you have a message from Durov. If you use Telegram and have a Spanish number, it is very likely that this afternoon you received an unusual notification. The official ‘Telegram’ bot, the same one usually used for security communications such as login codes, displays a message forwarded from the channel @durov. “The government of Pedro Sánchez is promoting new dangerous regulations that threaten your freedoms on the internet,” the text begins. From there, Dúrov promises to “explain” why he considers that the package of measures represents an alarm signal for freedom of expression and privacy. Durov Dúrov’s message translated into Spanish in the Telegram bot Against the prohibition of social networks for minors under 16 years of age. One of the central criticisms of the founder of Telegram points to the proposal to restrict the access of minors under 16 years of age to social networks. Dúrov maintains that such a measure, in practice, would imply strict identity verification controls that would go beyond that age group, citing formulas such as DNI or biometrics. “It sets a precedent for tracking the identity of EVERY user, eroding anonymity and opening doors to mass data collection,” he says. “What starts with minors could spread to everyone, stifling open debate,” he adds. Here it is important to clarify something important: for now, the Government has not fully detailed what specific technical measures would be applied for this age verification, nor how they would be implemented in practice. That is to say, Dúrov’s interpretation is based on a harsh scenario, but the actual implementation will depend on how the initiative ends up being drafted and the mechanism chosen to apply it. Risks of “overcensorship”. The message also focuses on another point of the proposal: tightening the responsibility of the platforms, including their managers, if they do not remove content considered illegal or hateful. According to Dúrov, this would push companies to act preventively and aggressively, with a clear collateral effect on public debate: “this will force over-censorship—the platforms will delete anything minimally controversial to avoid risks, silencing political dissidence, journalism and everyday opinions.” And what about the algorithm? The initiative also proposes legally punishing the manipulation of algorithms and the deliberate amplification of illegal content. Dúrov interprets this point as a potential paradigm shift: that the control of the order of what we see on the Internet becomes a regulated matter with room for political intervention. “Governments will dictate what you see, burying opposing opinions and creating state-controlled echo chambers,” he writes. In the same block, he warns that these types of measures would end up affecting the free circulation of ideas. Measures against polarization. Another leg of the package is the creation of a system described as a “footprint of hate and polarization,” which would quantify how platforms amplify social division and serve as a basis for future sanctions. Durov dwells especially on this point, questioning the fit of categories that, in his opinion, are too open and moldable: “vague definitions of ‘hate’ could label criticism of the government as divisive, leading to closures or fines. This can be a tool to suppress the opposition.” A message without gray, waiting for the small print. Overall, Dúrov presents the proposal as an inseparable block of threats against freedom of expression and privacy, hardly distinguishing between measures or opening room for nuances. It is a reading aligned with Telegram’s usual narrative, which tends to frame regulation as a direct risk to digital rights. But it also leaves a decisive factor in the background: several parts of the plan, as we say, are still pending completion, both in its final formulation and in its technical implementation. Telegram does not come to this debate from scratch. Dúrov’s intervention also occurs in a complicated context for the platform. Telegram has been under the spotlight for some time due to the role played by some channels and groups in the dissemination of content that is difficult to moderate, and due to the recurring debates about responsibility and cooperation with authorities. Added to this is that the founder has been noted in France in the framework of investigations linked to the use of Telegram against criminal activities and certain illegal content. This history helps to understand why these types of messages are not just political criticism.

Pedro Sánchez has only detected that the social conversation has already moved

Pedro Sanchez From Dubai, he has promised five measures against digital platforms: criminal liability for managers, prohibition of access to minors under 16 years of age and criminalizing the manipulation of algorithms. The package sounds grandiose, but the most relevant thing is not in the technical details or its parliamentary viability. The panoramic. We are seeing the beginning of the “smoking” of the smartphone even at an institutional level. In society it started a few years ago. Social media is the stated goal, but the gateway is the device. The pattern. We have seen it before. There was a time when smoking on a plane was normal, getting tipsy during pregnancy did not cause social alarm, it was acceptable to travel with four children crammed behind in the car, and sugar was simply an innocent pleasure. In all cases, the change followed a similar sequence: First, scientific studies that point to a course of action. Then, a critical mass of citizens begins to “feel” that there is a problem. Next, governments move toward regulation. Finally, what was normal becomes unacceptable. Where are we. Right now, in phase 2 and approaching phase 3. The evidence on The impact of mobile phones on the attention and performance of minors they are growing. But that doesn’t matter much anymore. What matters is that a growing majority of parents, educators and citizens have come to the conviction that something is wrong. When you ask if children spend too much time on their cell phones, almost no one says no. Between the lines. Politicians do not usually lead these changes in consciousness, they simply detect and amplify them. Sánchez has not invented concern about social networks, he has only smelled that the wind is blowing in that direction and has placed himself in front of the current. This is what governments do when they sense that a cause has more support than detractors: fertile ground to announce something that will generate sympathy. The contrast. Just a decade ago, criticizing social networks placed you in the camp of technophobes, boomers disconnected, those who did not understand progress. Today that position has been almost completely reversed. Defending that a 12-year-old child have unlimited access to TikTok is beginning to be the cause of almost unanimous bad looks. The one that was before mainstream Now he has to explain himself. See a child today (or not so child) spend dinner making scroll to chain videos provokes a different reaction than doing it seven years ago. In another seven years it will surely be even more different. Yes, but. The analogy with tobacco has its limits because the cell phone is not only a vector of addiction, it is also a tool for communication, learning and socialization. Prohibiting access to minors under 16 years of age sounds reasonable until you think about how a 15-year-old teenager today coordinates his or her class work or meets up with friends. The upcoming regulation will have to be somewhat more surgical than that of tobacco, which was simply prohibited in closed spaces. The big question. Or big questions. Will we remember this time as we now remember the photos of doctors smoking in hospitals? Will our children stare in disbelief at images of entire families staring at screens in a restaurant, each absorbed in their own feed? If the pattern repeats itself, probably yes. Whether the measures that Sánchez has just anticipated succeed or not is the least important thing. What matters is that you have correctly read where the conversation is moving.

the household employees of the ultra-rich who earn more than Pedro Sánchez

In the month of April we count a trend that was beginning to circulate among that sector of civilization that is capable of having eight or more figures in the bank account. The ultra-rich, after years spending fortunes on home automation of their mansions, had decided to return to analog times by eradicating any trace of technology in homes. But it’s one thing to throw LEDs, and quite another to throw a Picasso. Because they don’t ignore works of art and luxury furniture. In fact, they pay a premium for their care. Even more than a president of the government. The art of cleaning luxury. In the universe of the richest households on the planet, cleaning is no longer a household chore: it is a painstaking science, a highly specialized skill, and a six-figure job. He told it in a extensive Bloomberg report with cases like that of Gina, who with 26 years of experience in domestic service, is today a executive housekeeper in the San Francisco Bay that wins more than $100,000 a year for taking care of mansions where each piece of furniture is a work of art. Her rise from basic cleaning to managing multimillion-dollar residences reflects a global phenomenon: the transformation of luxury cleaning into a skilled profession driven by the sophistication of contemporary design and the shortage of trained staff. In these houseserror is not measured in stains but in thousands of dollars: a miscalculated rub can destroy the original finish of a knob or the shine of a collector’s piece. In this ecosystem, cleaning requires as much technical knowledge as a kind of restorer or even a museum curator. The new frontier of cleaning. All this is understood due to the rise of high-end design, which has raised standards of domestic work at unprecedented levels. In the houses where Gina works, the objects are no longer “furniture”, but investments and fragments of history: tables by Diego Giacometti more expensive than a Ferrarisofas by Jean Royère valued in millions or pieces by François-Xavier Lalanne that reach record numbers at auctions. Cleaning them requires knowing the materials, understanding their chemical reactions and applying precise protocols. Wood, metals, fabrics, glass or rattan become conservation challenges more than hygiene challenges. Common products and tools (such as popular Swiffer) are, according to expertsenemies of conservation: they alter surfaces, remove patinas or introduce chemical residues. The correct thing to do is almost artisanal: moisten your hands, use a cotton cloth and maintain just the right humidity to trap the dust without damaging the material. The border between cleaning and disinfecting, seemingly trivial, is essential: “You cannot disinfect without cleaning first,” repeat the trainers, aware that ignorance can cost more than an annual salary. Shortages and astronomical salaries. The value of these professionals has been triggered. Before the pandemic, a housekeeper with experience maintaining luxury homes earned a few $60,000 annually. Today, that figure easily exceeds the 100,000more benefits and bonuses. In fact, demand has grown at the same pace as extreme wealth and the proliferation of delicate objects. Training companies like that of Charles MacPherson in Toronto they offer five week programs that combine communication with the employer, home security and cleanliness with contemporary design. The lack of qualified personnel has made housekeepers executives in a good scarce and coveted. To give us an idea, they remembered in Bloomberg that some are the subject of “signing” attempts by other millionaires, aware that a good professional can be the difference between preserving or ruining a collection. The competition, Gina explained.is fierce: “There are very few truly professional people in this, and many see it as a minor job.” In reality, luxury has redefined cleaning as a technical discipline where knowledge outweighs strength, and confidence outweighs hierarchy. From home to museum. The cultural change surrounding this new elite of cleaners also reflects a mutation in the relationship of the upper classes with its spaces. Billionaires’ homes have become hybrids between home and gallerywhere maintenance is part of the value of the heritage. Owners not only buy beauty, they buy responsibility: each object requires a conservation regime, and cleaning becomes an extension of curation. Here a mistake can be catastrophic: the case of the housekeeper who, when trying to “reshine” the handles of a door, removed an intentional patina and caused $75,000 damageis already a classic of the sector. In these houses, the hands that clean are not invisible: they are part of the ecosystem that protects the investment and maintains the aesthetics. The paradox is that a historically undervalued profession has become, at the top of the social pyramid, a profession as delicate and exclusive as the objects it touches. Economy of precision. The rise of cleanliness luxury to professional category highlights the contemporary logic of the market: when wealth multiplies and objects become irreplaceable, the care becomes a luxury in itself. In this environment, the shortage of trained personnel raises salaries, but also redefines the prestige of the profession. The professionalization of high-end domestic service marks a new frontier in the care economy: that of maintenance as art. If you like, Gina and her colleagues are no longer cleaners, they are guardians of heritage material of an elite that prefers to pay more than risk a unique piece. Thus, in the meticulous silence of those mansions, where each surface is worth as much as a sports car, the cotton rag has become a symbol of status, precision and trust.

A message has sneaked into each and every corner of Tiktok outside its theme: “Pedro Sánchez resignation”

It doesn’t matter if they deal with politics or other issues that little (or nothing) have to do with what happens in Moncloa, Parliament or the Council of Ministers. For days in the networks, especially in Tiktokcan be seen with some frequency A message that is repeated again and again in the comments of the videos: “Sánchez resignation.” So common is that there are even Influencers talking already of the phenomenon. The big question is: where does it come from? What happened? The news advanced her A few days ago The ‘Public Mirror’ program, in Antena 3, but is going around Tiktok to confirm it. Throughout the last days two contents that have gained some visibility can be found on that platform, enough to be generating news. One are messages that They ask for resignation of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. The second content is Influencers that They talk about thathow by surprise the comments to their pieces have been filled with resignation requests. Comments to a video by Dani.Valhalla on the subject. Rikomedy video about the trend, with comments with the same message. Ramontelli video with messages from “Sánchez resignation” in the comments. What exactly do they say? You can change the form, the exact words. The background no. In the messages the same idea is repeated basically: Sánchez’s resignation is requested. The curious thing is where they can be seen. They are from repeated form In comments from Videos that deal with The phenomenon; but also in others that have nothing to do with the president, the PSOE or the policy in general. Here For example there is an example in a piece of Ramontelli about music, here Another of Eufun Deibe and one more here of Peter Roadman in which we talk about the DGT and the latest statements of its general director. To a lesser extent, loose comments can also be seen in pieces of some of the main content creators in Spain, such as Ibai either Roro. There are even those who have created videos specifically for talk about, kidding either Find an explanation. And where does it come from? The million dollar question. A few days ago Ramontelli published A piece in which it relates the phenomenon to a user who began to repeat the request for resignation in different videos and generated a “snowball” effect. “It’s not a Botor anything. People I saw him and already put him in the rest of the videos, “he adds. In ‘Public Mirror’ the socialist Susana Díaz sees However “a against campaign to Sánchez.” And there is no lack of analysts who believe that the phenomenon responds to a “orchestrated” initiative by the opposition. “Almost none of this is casual.” Anita Hard video about the trend. Comments to a video of Albertosaurus dedicated to the trend. Josecafit video. Comments to a Peter Roadman post. And is that possible? What there is no doubt is that at least part of the opposition to Sánchez has taken advantage of the wave. In The same video from Ramontelli or in this other of Dani.Valhala A “Pedro Sánchez resignation can be found!” (capital letters are yours) written from the official Vox account in Tiktok. In This other Piece, which includes a parodic video, is a message in the same line published from the PP Madrid account. During an intervention in ‘Public Mirror’ Susana Díaz has even gone beyond When talking about “discredit techniques” driven by “people who are dedicating themselves to it in Spain.” And in other networks? In X the hashtag can be followed #Sánchezdimisionwith abundant publications in recent days. In YouTube There are also examples. The phenomenon arrives at a specific political moment, marked among other factors by Last agreements With Junts and The debate Around the increase in defense investment, which extends Beyond Spain and extends To the EU.
