@PlJonson Lyssna noga, Jönsson. Spioner, infiltratörer, radikaler — jag har sett dem på nära håll under mina uppdrag i 🇸🇪. De kommer inte bara, de rotar sig. Dags att följa 🇮🇸 t.ex, lämna #ECHR och sätt ett tak för våldsamma #MENAPT-inresande. Detta är strategiskt, inte politiskt.
Jag tror inte på att taktikrösta på partier vars politik man inte delar.
Jag tror att det beteendet gör att vi har svårt att få fram partier vars politik vi verkligen vill ha.
Om svenskar röstade efter vad de verkligen ville ha så hade Sverige sett väldigt annorlunda ut 2026.
An 18-year-old armed with a machete has wounded multiple people at a school in Fagersta, Sweden. Police have shot the suspect, who was previously sentenced to 25 hours of youth community service for assault at another school.
Last night Apple briefly removed Telegram from the AppStore because a user had planted illegal porn in a public chat.
Telegram was restored within hours. But I want to explain what happened — to warn other app developers and help protect online communities from similar attacks.
Because Telegram quickly removes illegal content from public groups using all kinds of moderation tools, the attacker had to resort to a technical trick. He inserted AI-modified illegal content by editing an old message in an active group chat. As a result the content was effectively hidden from the group’s members, preventing them from seeing/reporting it.
The attacker was a takedown extortionist: someone who demands ransom from group owners in exchange for not targeting their communities. These extortionists use automated accounts to plant illegal content in public groups and then report it directly to Apple, attempting to trigger the removal of legitimate communities whose owners refused to pay them.
From a practical standpoint, illegal pornographic content in Telegram’s public groups is not a systemic problem. Our moderation is effective. The fact that attackers must resort to backdated, effectively invisible content and other technical tricks proves this.
⚠️ However, there are two important lessons here for app developers and online communities:
— Extortionists have found a way to manipulate Apple into overreacting. Apple removed Telegram from the App Store before contacting us. This creates a potential systemic risk for every mobile app that hosts user-generated content. If an app used by more than a billion people can be removed from the App Store without prior warning, any app can be.
— The tactics used by takedown extortionists are evolving, putting communities across social platforms at risk. Telegram has extensive experience identifying the tricks used by coordinated reporting gangs and protecting legitimate communities (even when doing so risks our own app being temporarily removed from the App Store). Other platforms may not be equally prepared.
Stay vigilant! ☝️
Russia has designated me as a “terrorist” for refusing its demands for mass surveillance and censorship on Telegram.
Under Russian law, I’m banned from “publishing information on the Internet” 😌
Russian officials are clearly confused about who can ban whom from the Internet 😉
We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP
No law can replace good parenting.
Parents already have the tools to limit kids’ digital consumption: parental controls, screen-time limits — or no smartphone at all.
Instead, many parents give toddlers iPads just to keep them quiet.
No amount of regulation will fix that.
If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.

French police is currently raiding X’s office in Paris. France is the only country in the world that is criminally persecuting all social networks that give people some degree of freedom (Telegram, X, TikTok…). Don’t be mistaken: this is not a free country.
This year we celebrate Australia Day 🇦🇺 in Bangladesh with lots of Australian experiences on offer - including an Aussie sausage sizzle!
We welcome the opportunity to connect and further deepen the Australia 🇦🇺 and Bangladesh 🇧🇩 bilateral relationship.
I had the honor to meet Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus. We had a good meeting about U.S.-Bangladesh cooperation in economic, security, and other key sectors that will enrich and protect both of our countries.
JD Vance on Europe:
People think that Trump, or that I, or that Rubio, hate Europe or have some problem with Europe. We don’t. We love Europe.
Why do we want Europe to control its borders? Because we love European civilization. We want it to preserve itself.
Why do we care about economic growth? Because they’re one of our most important allies in the world. We share a common civilizational heritage.
Why do we care about NATO? Because we want Europe to be able to defend itself if, God forbid, they were invaded.
We love Europe so much, we’re demanding that they do what their own leadership refuses to do, which is look after themselves and be smarter.
Within 10 years the MusIim men age 18-35 will outnumber the German men age 18-35.
The same is true in multiple other Western European countries.
How is that gonna work out for them?
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen:
Greenland will not be owned by the United States.
Greenland will not be governed by the United States.
Greenland will not be part of the United States.
BREAKING: U.S. billionaires including Bill Gates, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, and Jeff Bezos have already established a presence in Greenland, pouring money into AI powered rare earth drilling and advancing plans for a so called “freedom city.”
Statement from the Premier of Greenland.
January 6, 2026
“Yesterday, I made it very clear that in Greenland we have intensified our diplomatic and political efforts in our struggle to affirm that Greenland is our country and our territory. Our country is not something that can be annexed or taken over simply because someone wishes to do so. I am pleased that already today I can note that the relationships we have built over the past year, and our increased diplomatic efforts in recent times, are of great significance.
The French President, the German Federal Chancellor, the Italian Prime Minister, the Polish Prime Minister, the Spanish Prime Minister, the British Prime Minister, and the Danish Prime Minister have today issued a joint statement that unequivocally supports us in Greenland and our shared territorial integrity. This support is important at a time when fundamental international principles are being challenged. For this support, I wish to express my deepest gratitude.
At a time when the President of the United States has once again stated that the United States is very serious about Greenland, this support from our allies in NATO is both important and unequivocal.
I once again call on the United States to seek a respectful dialogue through the appropriate diplomatic and political channels, and through the use of existing forums based on agreements that already exist with the United States. Such dialogue must take place with respect for the fact that Greenland’s status is grounded in international law and the principle of territorial integrity.
In this context, the support from our European allies in NATO means a great deal. It is a clear signal that territorial integrity, sovereignty, and international rules continue to apply and are respected.”
Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul reminds the United States if they attack Greenland it'll be war with Europe: “Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. And since Denmark is a member of NATO, Greenland will, in principle, also be subject to NATO defence”.
