Perhaps it would have been smarter to prevent these predatory behaviors from social networks in the first place. Because it is probably constitutionally more sound to ban some behaviors rather than outright ban social networks altogether.

I would say the link is bit more tenuous than you would present it. A Russian guy works for telegram with one of his businesses. Other businesses he owns are suspected of working with FSB.
