👮‍♂️ Durov’s Arrest and Pressure on Telegram:

Interview with Tucker Carlson What happens when you create the most secure app in the world and refuse to hand over user data to authorities? Here are the details we shared earlier about Pavel in France. Pavel Durov gave his first public interview about his arrest in France. He talked about the pressure, legal manipulation, and why Europe might lose face. Key Moments: 00:00 - The Arrest Durov was arrested in France on 16 charges, without trial, amid tensions surrounding Telegram. 02:01 - Conditions of Detention 4 days in isolation: concrete walls, no mattress, a flickering light. His phone was confiscated, no contact with the outside world. 04:21 - Legal Pretext France claims Telegram ignores their requests. Durov says the company complies with EU laws and already provides data through appropriate channels. 11:11 - Publicity and Political PR The arrest instantly hit the press. “I wasn’t allowed to read news about myself, but the whole world did.” 17:22 - Monetization but no Compromises Telegram earns money without selling data. 1 billion monthly active users and not a single tracker. 30:36 - The Real Reason for Pressure? “Some authorities just want to spy. And encryption gets in their way.” 35:18 - Attempts to Legalize Backdoors France tried to ban end-to-end encryption. The bill failed, but the threat remains. 49:52 - Deceived by the ‘Civilized World’ “France treats me as a suspect, but no one’s afraid to travel to Uzbekistan. That’s ironic.” 58:48 - Quantum Threats Mitigation Quantum-resistant encryption is the future. Telegram is preparing for it. 01:02:55 - Complete Rejection of Phones Durov hasn’t used a smartphone in over a year. Only a laptop and iPad - no trackers. 01:09:40 - YouTube Censors the Interview Tucker’s interview was banned. Official reason: lack of “acceptable opinion.” 🔗 Watch the original on YouTube Your interviewer @TonPost
