Now everyone will start scolding me! But! 1. The Russian language is official on the level of law in Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Unofficial: yes, where do people live who speak in Russian. Then the motivation of the authorities that there is a forum (a site using the Russian language, we dismiss) is weak evidence, or rather, nothing.

2. Further, even if you pay a fine?! How? In Russia, both swift and other payment systems for settlements with unfriendly states have been terminated (or rather, they themselves withdrew from these states). This means that bailiffs will not be able to execute the court's decision.
@ct_Magazin 3. Now in Russian courts... It's a mess there now, there are not enough judges, but the judge was guided by the opinion of the parties involved (of course, this is more of a political decision, but still). The session takes place in principle as follows: the judge listens with one eye, and considers criminal cases with the other eye. Before the start of the court session (write an objection in writing before the start of the hearing, for start).
@ct_Magazin No body - no case, you never know what is used in the forum in Russian, it should not concern anyone... After all, the Russian language, the official (working language) of the UN, is one of the 6 languages, by the way. So: sorry, initially the court session is about nothing.

@ct_Magazin

Warum wehren sie sich vor Gericht in Russland? Wäre es nicht sinnvoller, darauf keine Energie zu verschwenden und das Verfahren einfach zu ignorieren?

According to @ct_Magazin and the press release https://merlinux.eu/press/2025-05-14-russia-deltachat.pdf Russia sues the German company merlinux GmbH over Delta Chat, an email and #OpenPGP based #Endtoendcrypto messenger.
@ct_Magazin Schon ironisch. Delta Chat wird in Russland beliebter wegen Sicherheit und Privatsphäre.
Währenddessen ist es in Schland extrem wichtig, daß Mark Zuckerberg mit seinem Drecks-WhatsApp über jede Kommunikationsverbindung Bescheid weiß. Einfach bekloppt.
