Pavel Durov

Telegram is a private messaging app known for its tolerance of free speech.

Recently the App's founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France and potentially faces 10 years for operating a platform complicit in CP and drug trafficking. Facebook and Twitter have been found guilty of the same thing, however you don't see Zuckerberg or Dorsey standing trial. (𓃠,𓃠)

The real reason Durov was targeted relates to free speech. Three days before Durov's arrest, it was reported that anti-Israel hackers have stolen gigabytes of Israeli intelligence and posted it on Telegram. Telegram refused Israel's request to censor them. (𓃠)

There is reason to suspect that Pavel was set up, as he was arrested when his plane made an unexpected stop in France, apparently for fuel. Data from Flightradar24 shows that Pavel tried to divert his plane upon realizing he had been set up, before it continued on its course to Paris. (𓃠)

Durov was travelling with Russian streamer and Crypto Coach Yulia Vavilova, who can be seen with him before his plane left. Her social media posts alone were enough to have exposed his whereabouts. Vavilova has disappeared since Durov's arrest and seems to have deleted her social media. Her family say they cannot reach her. (𓃠)
