Telegram CEO still detained
International news from this weekend in France, I am sure most of you around the cryptosphere got the news that telegram CEO Pavel Duroc or his new French name Paul du Rove which he official got around the same time of getting his French citizenship where people are starting to ask questions how he got granted that. Apparently he met the requirement for a special talent kind of citizenship.
Anyway as of today he is still in custody(detained) as it was prolonged yesterday I believe, officer can keep him up until Wednesday in my understanding. He is accused of not doing moderation on Telegram and not complying with authorities. Telegram says they respect the law in Europe and that their CEO shouldn't be held responsible for what users are doing on the platform specially around illegal activity.

France still fighting for new PM role as the previous government resigned in early summer.
The president has the power to nominate a new PM to the role in order to create a new government, it is typically held by the group with a clear majority in the lower house (national assembly) but Macron is worried that consensus won't be built so he is not willing to nominate someone from the left collation.
Anyway the country is still running so why would he rush and give power back? Zero Incentives here.
US elections coming soon 69 days to go
It is election year in the U.S and people are looking for which candidat to support. After a near miss assassination attempt on Trump and the withdrawal of Biden leaving the place to his Vice President Harris to try and take over the country for the next 4 years. A lot already happened in the last few months and I am sure we will see intense stuff before the final day.
Election years in the US are important also for people around the world as a change in administration can change relationship dynamics between the USA and its allies around the world.
I haven't gotten yet into technical of how it will work but people are saying that it is an important stepping stone for the ecosystem, allowing us to shine a bit more in the crypto world. It is nice to see initiate to use "standards" it makes the blockchain a bit more serious to outside people. Just like it was important to have Ledger integration, having stuff like metamask, EVM contract and more developers is important.

Leoshorts!!! wen OnlyLeo:)
I see it made it into the interface on desktop and mobile (camera icon), you can now record shorts which are posted on 3speak and you will be able to see them in threads and on your profile as a new feed.
I really need to try it at some point.
That is all from me today, I am trying a new format of article in order to get back a bit in the game, I haven't posted a lot during the summer and no long form content in like 17 days. Building on Hive is really about grinding and doing so consistently so we have to keep working at it everyday.
