As the days dragged on, the bigger question loomed: why had Durov been arrested at all? Carlson asked him directly. “Why were you being held against your will by the French government? In the first four days, did they make it clear to you?” Durov said he was told... show more

This isn’t just a story about Telegram. It’s a wake-up call about privacy and the invisible hand of government control. Telegram founder Pavel Durov is still being detained in France—arrested for crimes he didn’t commit, committed by users on his platform. But what he told Tucker Carlson about U.S. back doors in Big Tech? It shattered everything Tucker thought he knew about how the system works. 🧵 THREAD
When Pavel Durov landed in Paris last August, he didn’t expect to be arrested. But that’s exactly what happened. The Telegram founder was taken into custody by French customs police and placed into solitary confinement—without explanation. Speaking out for the first time since his arrest, he told Tucker Carlson the real story, not the headlines. Durov said the conditions were grim. “And then I spent four days in police custody, the building in south of Paris that I think is run by the customs police officers.” Carlson asked what that looked like in practice. “Was a 7 square meter room, or 70FT² room and no windows, concrete block,” Durov said. “A bed this narrow, no linen, no pillow, a mattress this thin, like a yoga mat this thin, maybe one centimeter, half inch.” A light blinked constantly overhead. “Which was a bit annoying.” “Locked door?” Carlson asked. “Yeah, the door was very securely locked, I must say.” “So you’re in a cell?” “Yes, it was a solitary cell, so to say. There were no other people there.” “They put you in solitary confinement?” “You could say that, yes.”

That was eight months ago. Durov may no longer be in a cell, but he’s still trapped in France—barred from leaving the country under a legal restriction known as “judicial control.” Carlson asked why he’s still being held. “So there is this limitation on my travel, traveling ability, so to say, which is called judicial control,” Durov explained. “Judicial control is when you can't leave the country freely because there is still an investigation going on and you are one of the suspects or the suspect.” The odd part? He’s not actually being questioned—at least not regularly. “I'm required to answer some questions in relation to Telegram every 5th month or 4th month,” he said. “So the other like 3 or 4 months, I'm just having to be here for reasons that are very hard for me to understand.” Whatever case the French government thought it had, the process has dragged on with no clear resolution—and no transparency. Rather, it seems more akin to lawfare being weaponized against the man who runs a pro-privacy, pro-free speech platform, that is beyond government control.
That led Carlson to press the core issue: what crime, exactly, is Durov accused of? “Despite the headlines that flooded the world in August—you were not involved in kiddie p*rn, drug sales, organized crime, arm sales… I can't even remember but like the worst crimes in the world.” “No one is actually claiming that you were involved in those crimes, correct?” “Correct,” Durov replied. “So what’s the real claim? That someone used Telegram for illegal activity, and you didn’t catch it fast enough?” “Correct.” Carlson asked what everyone was thinking: “So why are you still here?” Durov didn’t have an answer. “Hmmm... I'm still trying to find out, to be honest. I'm still confused.” “First they said, oh, you failed to respond to our legal requests and that's why you're complicit. First of all, it's not true that we didn't respond to legally binding legal requests.” “Secondly, it's a very extensive interpretation of complicity. Even for the French legal and judicial system.” “What I hear from my lawyers is that it's quite unprecedented.” A founder of a billion-user platform, held indefinitely—because someone somewhere might have used the app for something illegal.
But what Durov revealed next pulled the lens even wider. What happened in France, he said, is part of a larger pattern: governments exploiting legal systems to weaken privacy protections—and it’s even more extreme in the United States. “You know what’s interesting, in the U.S., you have a process that allows the government to actually force any engineer in any tech company to implement a back door and not tell anyone about it.” “Using this process called the gag-order, you know there are certain legal procedures.” Carlson was stunned. “Not tell his own employer about it?” “Yes, exactly. If you tell your own boss, you can end up in jail. Like, gag order.” “Actually?!” “Yeah.” Carlson pressed further. “So your employees have a legal obligation to act as fifth column spies? Saboteurs against you, your employees?” Durov didn’t hesitate. “That’s one of the reasons I didn’t move to the U.S. with my team.” To Durov, it’s not just a legal battle—it’s a warning. What happened to him could happen to anyone building technology that puts privacy over power. France may have kicked it off, but the real fight, he said, is global.

Thanks for reading to the end. Follow me for more stories that matter. —> @VigilantFox While the media protects the powerful, citizen journalists are exposing what they won’t on 𝕏. Don’t miss this thread—30 truth-tellers they don’t want you to follow:
John and Mayme Surrency were murdered the day before Thanksgiving 1936. Garland Headley was tasked with prosecuting the three men involved. What he uncovered sent him and his family fleeing the United States. What did John and Mayme know that led to their murder?
I didn't know much about Pavel until last August or his platform. while we were in Italy last fall I asked an Italian friend about this issue. Boy was I surprised about the stuff he told us......and he is still being detained by France.
That is #wokism method, If @durov is saying the all truth. But how the french authorities knew then @TuckerCarlson about these crimes on telegram platform? Well their men, contractors doing it all So arrest of @durov is to have leverage & spy on opponents

![WATCH: Secretary of State Rubio smacks down reporter for LYING about his statements from yesterday, falsely claiming he said Israel dragged the U.S. into war with Iran.... Reporter: “Yesterday, you told us that Israel was going to strike Iran and that that's why we needed to get involved. Today, the President said that —” Rubio: “No.” Reporter: “— Iran was going to get strike [sic].” Rubio: “Yeah, your statement is false. So, that's not what — I was asked very specifically. Were you there yesterday?” Reporter: “Yes, I asked a question.” Rubio: “Okay. No. Were you the one that — because somebody asked me a question yesterday, did we go in because of Israel? And I said..., no, I told you this had to happen. Anyway, the President made a decision, and the decision he made was that Iran was not going to be allowed to hide behind its ballistic missile program, that Iran was not going to be allowed to hide behind its ability to conduct these attacks. That decision had been made. The President systematically made a decision to systematically destroy this terrorist capability that they had, and we carried that out. I was very clear on that answer. This was a question of timing, of why this had to happen as a joint operation, not the question of the intent. Once the President made a decision that negotiations were not going to work, that they were playing us on the negotiations, and that this was a threat that was untenable, the decision was made to strike them. That's what I said yesterday. And you guys need to play it. If you're going to play these statements, you need to play the whole statement, not clip it to reach a narrative that you want to do, all right?”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2028932282845737135/amplify_video_thumb/2028932235072593920/img/8Pqa6iQ-9VR5xNeO.jpg)
