Why Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, was arrested at a Paris airport🧡

French authorities detained him due to alleged issues with Telegram's content moderation. The exact charges are unclear. Russia's embassy is seeking more information.

The arrest has caused controversy, with some Russian officials criticizing France's actions. Pavel has also been vocal about government interference within Telegram on multiple occasions.Image
The FBI's interest in Telegram focuses on its encryption, with Pavel Durov revealing attempts by the FBI to infiltrate Telegram by hiring an engineer to create a backdoor for accessing user data, which Telegram opposes for privacy reasons.
Telegram's lenient content moderation allows disinformation and illegal activities to flourish, which hinders the FBI's ability to monitor and prevent crimes like terrorism and drug trafficking, affecting law enforcement effectiveness. Image

The Olmecs of Mesoamerica are credited with creating the first organized ball game in sports history approximately 3,500 years ago. The game involved teams playing on a narrow strip between two sloped walls, with the objective of keeping a rubber ball in the air without using their hands or feet. In the 13th century, many courts added a stone circle; if a player managed to hit the ball through this circle, their team would automatically win the match.

Beyond being a sport, the game held significant ritual and cultural importance for the Olmec and Mayan civilizations. Ritual performances of the game were sometimes played with prisoners of war, and members of the losing team were often sacrificed to the gods. The game's popularity is evidenced by the 1300 ball courts found in Mesoamerica, with most Mayan cities having at least one.Image

Pankration was a brutal ancient Greek sport that combined elements of boxing and wrestling, showcasing the athletes' strength and endurance. It was a popular event in the ancient Olympic games, despite its inherent dangers due to the lack of restrictions on fighting techniques.

The sport allowed participants to use almost any method to defeat their opponents, including kicking in the genitals or biting off body parts, as long as the actions occurred outside the ring. This led to severe injuries and even deaths, such as that of Arrhichion of Phigalia, an Olympic athlete who died while strangling his opponent, but not before breaking the man's ankle. Another example is the athlete known as "Fingertips," who earned his nickname by habitually breaking his opponents' fingers at the start of each match.

The Romans, known for their love of gladiatorial combat, adopted pankration and made it even more dangerous by equipping the fighters with spiked gloves. This modification increased the brutality of the already vicious sport.Image

Before the wedding, the Reverend checked the license; all seemed fine. It permitted him to marry Eunice (18) and Charlie (22). But later, it was revealed that the couple had lied on their application.
Eunice misled her father, pretending to fetch a doll from her sister's house. Instead, she met Charlie, and they walked miles to marry under Reverend Lamb. After the ceremony, Eunice briefly stopped at her sister's for the doll before returning home.

Powerful scene of copper miners on strike, standing in protest outside the company store, anticipating the arrival of replacement workers from the day shift. This gripping moment unfolded in Ducktown, Tennessee, in September 1939. Image
Picketing, a form of protest, involves the gathering of individuals outside a workplace or event venue. The purpose is often to discourage others from entering ("crossing the picket line") or to raise public awareness for a particular cause or issue.
A "scab" is a slang term for a strikebreaker, someone who works during a strike. They are often individuals hired after or during the strike to keep operations running, including those who cross picket lines to work.
