Woo Jong-su, head of the National Police Agency's National Investigation Division, said at a regular press conference on the 2nd, "The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has launched a pre-trial investigation into the Telegram corporation, as it did in France," and added, "The allegations are about aiding and abetting this crime (crimes such as false images)."
He added, "We will cooperate with the French investigative authorities and various international organizations to find a way to investigate Telegram on this occasion."
Earlier, the French government arrested Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov in Paris on March 24 and charged him with aiding and abetting various crimes, including online sex crimes and drug distribution.
French prosecutors reportedly issued an arrest warrant for Durov in March when Telegram did not respond to a request to Telegram to identify the suspect while investigating a case involving child sexual exploitation.
Reuters adds:

The local media reports included one analysis that went viral by the Hankyoreh newspaper which looked at Telegram channels where it said deepfakes of female university and high and middle school students were being shared.

I’m actually genuinely asking for them when I do. I have been imprecise with my language at times and I am one of the only posters in here who will acknowledge when I am.

If so, that’s weird since I’m consistently more correct than you are about almost everything

I did...then you said I was refuting a point. I made no comment other than correct you on what you originally said. Every argument you've been in on this thread you go crazy if you aren't quoted and taken at face value, but all of the sudden you get bent out of shape the second someone doesn't infer additional context. Color me shocked you don't see it.
And for the record
This was the chain of comments and the fig comment is in line

Also, I think this is the first time in a few weeks I’ve asked to be quoted. I would remember because part of the reason I do it now is people like you get “bent out of shape” about it
but at the very least the “every argument” point is blatantly false. Posted on 9/2/24 at 9:28 am to VolSquatch

Can you clarify for me why you were completely wrong that I do that in “every” argument? Thanks stormy

It’s on you to prove your statement buddy, go comb through all my posts and report back. If you can prove I do that in every argument I’ll get an admin to disable my account. If you can’t, you get one to disable yours. Deal?

Actually I chided you for making one example from 50 years ago to try and make an economic point today. Especially when it involved today’s version of Russia which didn’t exist in the example you gave.
“You gave a bad example” isn’t “let’s just throw out history”
Economic point??? You are dense. I made a geo political point.
If you keep giving into bullies they won’t stop.
In my lesson I compared Hitler to Putin and the European nations to the West.

Lithuanian FM: West 'chose to be caught off guard' by Russia's invasion
by Martin Fornusek August 31, 2024 3:42 PM
Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis has been one of the most vocal voices among Western top officials, calling for more decisive support for Ukraine and warning against Russian expansionism.
The Kyiv Independent sat down with Minister Landsbergis at the Globsec forum in Prague on Aug. 30 to discuss how to finally win the war.
"The Kyiv Independent: There has been criticism that Europe was caught off guard by the war in terms of its own defense production, military readiness, or the speed at which it was helping Ukraine. Has there been an improvement, or do these problems persist?
Gabrielius Landsbergis: The first part of my answer is that if we're talking about the black swans, it's impossible to call 2022 a black swan.
You would have to live under a rock, on a different planet, to call (the full-scale war) a black swan. Everybody who understands geopolitics, who knows Russia, knew that this would happen.
There wasn't a single surprised person in the Baltics. We were shocked by the ferocity of it, but not surprised. I wouldn't even say (we were surprised) in 2014 because after 2008, when (Putin) crossed the border into Georgia, he showed that he could and was ready to do it.
And there was no price paid for it. We were caught off guard because we chose to be caught off guard."

The “gas lines” point was certainly an economic one. You went on your little “can’t give In to bullies” diatribe after that. My “cool example” comment was directly after the gas lines comment, not your other rant.

Exactly. And LOL at Lima anyway for the implication that the Russian people are pathetic sheep who willingly suffer simply because they are told to do so.
It's like the meme, right?
But people like Lima will turn right around and deny that Russian fatalistic loserism is really a thing. They will insist that Russia is forward thinking, with a positive outlook for a brighter future, instead of the real Russia where 20% of the population lacks running water and poops in outhouses, like the medieval serfs that they are.

The first part shows the POV of the drone dropping the incendiary material, and the second is from an observing drone.
I am a bit surprised it took them this long. Flamethrower drones and commercial flamethrowing attachments have been around for at least 5 years. Fire and caves, bunkers, and trenches go together like peas and carrots. The juice hasn't been worth the squeeze using human torch bearers for quite a while but remote dromes make sense.
