The world watches the unjust detention of Pavel Durov in France. A man who has long been a champion of digital freedom, Durov’s arrest is a deliberate strike at the core of our fight against global control. Released on bail, Durov now faces a distorted media campaign aiming to discredit not just his character, but the very essence of Telegram. Make no mistake: this is a coordinated attack, not just on Durov but on freedom of speech, particularly in the realms of cryptocurrency and encrypted communication.

In today’s digital age, freedom of speech and privacy have become more critical than ever. The case of Telegram founder Pavel Durov, arrested for refusing to share encryption keys, underscores the ongoing battle over secure communication. Telegram can access regular chat messages, but it cannot access “secret chats,” even theoretically. However, there are claims that Telegram could potentially provide authorities with the IP addresses of anonymous channel owners. Fortunately, law enforcement can intercept certain communications without Telegram’s involvement.

The arrest of Pavel Durov is more than just a headline for crypto enthusiasts like us—it’s a battle cry. His detainment by French authorities, at the alleged behest of American powers, sends a clear message to those who believe in the future of cryptocurrency and digital privacy: the global reach of the United States is vast and unrelenting. The U.S. has made it clear that no one, not even the founder of one of the most secure communication platforms, is untouchable.
