I don't want to discuss your political arguments as it would be somewhat off-topic for a technical forum.
This thread is non-technical, and your claim regarding Telegram is as well. It therefore makes sense that my response is in the same vein, and there is no reason to dismiss it for that reason.
More generally, Ubuntu Touch, OpenStore, and others are free software, and their raison d’être—freedom—has more to do with ethics, philosophy, and politics than with technology.
This makes it appropriate to discuss such topics on this forum while striving to stay grounded in observable reality.
However read again what you posted and ponder if the EU can be both independant enough of the USA to not care about their definitely hostile stance to Telegram, and too dependent to care about the subjection of the 'open store' to the US law.
Read what you posted and what I posted and you can see that neither you nor I mentioned this point—“the supposed hostility of the US toward Telegram.”—in what was said earlier.
Bringing it up now, in an attempt to suggest that I might be contradicting myself on another point, is not respectful of the truth.
Muddling the issue in this way is not in keeping with the spirit of the open and honest discussions we hope to foster on this forum.
