Why was Telegram Founder Arrested in France? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

[@DeEmperor1]

Russia didn't jail Pavel Durov. But they pressured him to give them access into his former company VK. Instead he abandoned VK for the Russian govt and went ahead to create Telegram. He moved to America but only ended up getting visited by the FBI. He realized that the US govt also wanted the same thing Russian govt wanted, which is illegal backdoor access. So he left US and settled in Dubai, where the govt never bothered him. Its crazy that Dubai which is not a democracy, neither does it promote free speech, actually ignored Telegram and never demanded for backdoor access to user data. But it is France, a country that promotes "free speech" and calls itself a democracy, that jailed Durov. That's the crazy world we live in. By the way, this is proof to anyone who never believed it that Mark Zuckerberg has been giving user data to govts from Facebook and Instagram, and censoring free speech. That's why they never bother him.

[@coremaw]

yup, zuckerberg even admitted it today.

[@indiankid8601]

zuckerberg cannot survive one day without giving data. I dont know who would ever believ that your whatsapp and facebook data is not shared

[@Tate525]

That's why I don't use Facebook and Instagram. Somone at NSA is already stroking their member looking at your photos and videos.

[@Tate525]

Government should go after criminals using telegram instead of going after telegram CEO. Government to arrest those commiting crime if there's evidence

[@coremaw]

true, its like whats the point of having special operatives if they can't function as intended. just like FBI and CIA, are they for decorations?

[@bitkuri23]

But when govt ask proof for evidence, they deny it and say it's not possible. So it should be banned for good will of common man.
