Telegram Founder Arrested

Clown World is beginning to become unsafe for elite members of the corpocracy who don’t toe the current clown line: Telegram messaging app founder and CEO Pavel Durov has reportedly been arrested at a French airport after stepping off private plane. Police swooped on the billionaire shortly after landing at the Bourget airport, outside Paris, […]

https://voxday.net/2024/08/25/telegram-founder-arrested/

Russia's Dmitry Medvedev: “A long time ago, I asked Durov why he didn’t want to cooperate with law enforcement on serious crimes. ‘It’s a matter of principle for me,’ he said. I told him, ‘There will be serious problems in any country.’ He thought his biggest problems were in Russia, so he left and later obtained citizenship or residency in other countries. He wanted to be a brilliant 'man of the world,' living well without a homeland. Ubi bene, ibi patria! (Where there is good, there is my homeland!) He miscalculated. To all our common enemies now, he is still Russian — unpredictable and dangerous. Of different blood. Definitely not like Musk or Zuckerberg (who, by the way, actively cooperates with the FBI). Durov needs to finally understand that, like the times, you don't choose your homeland."

Pavel Durov and the Kafka Paranoia

Constantin von Hoffmeister observes how the modern West, much like a Kafkaesque nightmare, parades the illusion of freedom while mercilessly entangling dissidents like Pavel Durov in an inescapable web of bureaucratic control, where the promise of independence is reduced to a cruel and suffocating farce.

Russia must demand the immediate release of Telegram founder Pavel Durov who has been reportedly detained in France, Deputy Speaker of the Russian State Duma Vladislav Davankov has said.

According to French media, the 39-year-old dual Russian-French national was detained on Saturday at the Paris-Le Bourget airport. The French authorities reportedly believe that the lax moderation rules and encryption technology had allowed the widespread use of the Telegram messager by criminals.

Writing on Telegram in the early hours of Sunday, Davankov defended Durov’s record. “Hardly anyone else has done more for the development of digital services in Russia and the world,” he argued.

“We need to get him out of there. I have urged Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to appeal to the French authorities to release Pavel Durov from custody,” the politician wrote on Telegram. “His arrest could be politically motivated and used to gain access to personal information of Telegram users. We cannot allow this.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson takes pride in “communicating science”. Here he explains that XX/XY chromosomes don't determine if you are male or female, and instead, each day you can wake up and decide that “today I feel like I am female or male”

And there you have it.

Russia’s MFA spox Maria Zakharova on the arrest of Pavel Durov, the Telegram founder, in France:

“I just remembered that in 2018 a group of 26 NGOs, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Freedom House, Reporters Without Borders, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and others, condemned a Russian court's decision to block Telegram. The West made other similar statements.

They said all this because as of July 1, 2018, the Yarovaya Law began to operate in Russia requiring telecommunications operators to store records of telephone messages and Internet traffic of their clients for six months, as well as keys to decrypt users' correspondence and provide them to the FSB of Russia upon request. Thus, there were legislative questions for Telegram on this basis that many other countries also had in connection with the technical parameters of its encryption system.

All these Western NGOs called on the Russian government to stop questioning Telegram's work. They appealed to the UN, the Council of Europe, the OSCE, the European Union, the United States, and other governments with a request to resist Russia's actions and to protect the fundamental rights of freedom of expression and privacy. In addition, they called on Internet companies to resist unfounded and illegal demands that violate the rights of their users. They demanded that the Russian government guarantee the rights of Internet users to publish and anonymously view information on websites emphasizing that any restrictions must be sanctioned by the courts and fully comply with the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights. At the same time, Durov remained free all this time [in Russia] continuing to develop Telegram.

I am publishing a screenshot of all the Western professional organizations that spoke out then including their collective appeal. Do you think they will appeal to Paris this time around and demand Durov's release, or will they swallow their tongues instead?”

Never Talk to the Media

This is how it’s done. In fact, if everyone refused to talk to the media, its influence would be significantly degraded, because without the cover of direct quotes from the relevant sources, their little hit pieces always end up looking like the groundless opinion pieces they actually are. News query from The Associated Press I’m […]

"These century-old tomes often contain pigments that have since been confirmed toxic, even carcinogenic, if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin.

"The findings are thanks to Lipscomb University librarians Jan Cohu and Michaela Rutledge, who asked their colleagues in the chemistry department — with laboratory assistance from Vanderbilt University — to analyze the school’s collection of 19th- and early-20th-century, fabric-covered books."

🇺🇸🇷🇺👉🇫🇷🏴‍☠️ Former US intelligence officer Edward Snowden called Durov's detention a humiliation for France and the entire world.

Durov's arrest is an attack on the basic human rights of freedom of speech and association. I am surprised and deeply saddened that Macron has stooped to the level of hostage-taking as a way to gain access to private messages. This is humiliating not only for France, but for the entire world
