“The interesting thing about encryption is that it cannot be secure just for some people,” Telegram founder Pavel Durov told 60 Minutes in 2016 after the encrypted texting app was believed to be used by ISIS during the 2015 Paris attacks. This week, Russia charged Durov with aiding terrorism...

The creator of Telegram, Pavel Durov, was arrested at Le Bourget airport, where he arrived from Azerbaijan. This was reported by the French news channel LCI. Durov was shown a search warrant issued by the OFMIN (small office) of the national department of judicial police of France on the basis of a preliminary investigation. According to the French TV channel TF1, the warrant against the founder of Telegram was issued because Durov did not cooperate with the French security forces, which makes him an accomplice to drug trafficking and other serious crimes. Durov was in Baku at the same time as Putin, but there was no information about their meeting. Durov is also to be questioned due to suspicions of wiretapping Macron's manager through the secure network Telegram. Amid news of the arrest of Pavel Durov in France, shares of the TON cryptocurrency used in Telegram began to fall sharply. Pavel Durov faces up to 20 years in prison. He will soon appear in court as a French citizen.

Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram messenger, gave an interview to Tucker Carlson: highlights of his statements In the interview, Pavel Durov put a lot of emphasis on the independence of the messenger. He boasts that the app is currently "a symbol of freedom of speech and there will never be censorship in the app." ▪️ Durov tries not to travel to major geopolitical powers (Russia, China, the US). ▪️ Telegram's office is located in Dubai (UAE) because of the country's political neutrality. Durov tried to open an office in Berlin, London and Singapore, but ran into bureaucracy everywhere. ▪️ Durov had the idea of staying in San Francisco. However, when he was returning home one day, he was attacked in the street by three unknown men and tried to snatch his phone from his hands. ▪️ Durov was pressured by the FBI in the States, and was met at the airport by secret service agents, who came to his home, wanting to "establish relations" in order to have "control over the messenger". The last time Durov came to the US with an engineer, the FBI tried to secretly recruit his employee. ▪️ Durov said his app is often used during protests - in Belarus, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan and Barcelona. But Telegram is available to everyone - it's a neutral platform. ▪️ The biggest pressure on Telegram comes from Apple and Google, not governments. The companies have hinted that if the rules on their censorship are not followed, the messenger could be removed. ▪️ Durov said he has hundreds of millions of dollars in accounts and cryptocurrency, but he doesn't need it, "this lifestyle is not for him." He said he does not own real estate, cars, "airplanes and private islands," because it makes him location-bound, which violates his "vision of independence and freedom." He said his messenger Telegram is "about freedom of speech" and not "about money." ▪️ Pavel Durov said in an interview with Tucker Carlson that Russian authorities in 2013-2014 demanded that he hand over private information about the organizers of the Euromaidan in Ukraine that Vkontakte had. Pavel refused the Russian government telling them that he "would not betray Ukrainian users."

So Russia pulled a France today. They just put Pavel Durov on an international wanted list facing life in prison for refusing to hand the State the encryption keys to every private message on Telegram. Certainly not the first attempt. What’s new this time is the “facilitating terrorism” charge. Give the State control over what people say or become a wanted man. And the truly unfortunate aspect of this whole thing is there really is no meaningful distinction between Russia and France or the EU on this. They both treat uncensored speech as a threat that must be controlled, both punish the platforms that refuse, and both use whatever legal language is convenient that year. If protecting private conversation is now a crime on both sides of the old East-West line, the free internet is already gone.

In this clip, Pavel Durov sets the context for his speech by using a powerful historical analogy. According to his argument, many people today are trapped in a false sense of security, much like the passengers aboard the Titanic, who believed the ship was unsinkable even after it had struck an iceberg. Through this analogy, Durov seeks to illustrate how the erosion of privacy rights and individual freedoms in the digital age happens gradually and often goes unnoticed by the majority of the public until its consequences become undeniably real.

📹 Pavel Durov, in his first video interview in seven years, revealed to Tucker Carlson some fascinating facts about Telegram Messenger, doing business in Dubai and his personal crypto wealth: • Pavel Durov launched ВКонтакте (Russian social media platform) at the age of 21 but had to sell the company and leave the country after refusing to share user data with the Russian authorities. • Durov says his life goal is to give people freedom and privacy. • Telegram is not controlled by the Russian or U.S. governments, yet the FBI allegedly tried to create a backdoor in Telegram Messenger by recruiting one of its developers. Agents also meet Durov at the airport and ask him questions whenever he comes to the United States. • Once, he fought three robbers who tried to steal his phone in San Francisco after meeting Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter. • Partially because of that and the attention from U.S. agencies, he decided not to HQ his company there. He was also put off by the bureaucracy in Germany, Britain and Singapore and opted for Dubai as a neutral ground. • Durov received two letters from U.S. senators: Democratic Party senators wanted to get access to the Jan. 6 rioters’ personal data, claiming that otherwise, Telegram violates the U.S. Constitution. The team ignored the request. Later, Republican Party senators sent a conflicting letter stating that the company would have broken the law if it had shared the data. • According to Durov, there’s a lot of pressure coming from Apple and Google, and they have become the #1 source of online censorship. • Durov owns 100% of Telegram and wants to keep it independent, with no plans for an IPO. • Currently, 30 people are working at Telegram. The team doesn’t spend a budget on marketing, yet the user base keeps growing. The goal is to achieve one billion users in the next few years. • Maintaining the current level of privacy is getting harder. There may be a need for protected smartphones to ensure confidentiality in the future, and Durov says he doesn’t trust his phone and assumes he is being tracked. • He was in favor of the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk, and Durov believes it will have a positive impact on the social networking industry. • Durov stopped dealing with Mark Zuckerberg after the latter allegedly stole his idea of in-built apps for social media. • Durov has a few hundred million dollars in his bank account and owns $BTC, but he doesn’t spend it on anything, as it would undermine his freedom. Instead, he opts to invest everything back into Telegram.

Compare that to $BTC - it's a staggering 6,000x faster. And Telegram Messenger is now TON’s largest validator with 2.2 million $TON staked. GAME ON!

Telegram Founder Durov: Using Technology to Protect Our Digital Rights and Freedom On October 30, at the Blockchain Life 2025 summit in Dubai, Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated that users are losing their digital freedom, with private information at risk of being misused by third parties — even in traditionally free countries where privacy and free speech are being restricted. He proposed a solution: building "decentralized AI" that belongs to the people，not to corporations or governments. Telegram is developing a blockchain-based private AI network that allows users to access common features without giving up their data.

My first assessment of the terror attack in New Orleans: Terrorist was reportedly wearing full body armor, exchanged fire with police, used rented car packed with explosives, and was carrying an ISIS flag This was clearly organized terrorism. The only question is, by whom? Is this actually ISIS, or is it someone else wanting it to look like ISIS? And ISIS is a proxy of the CIA. This also looks dangerously similar to the multiple terror attacks in Russia like the Crocus City Hall massacre, which were carried out by Ukrainian/CIA assets. Louisiana also just declared state of emergency, postponed the Sugar Bowl in NOLA, and reportedly there are other accomplices at large. In conclusion, it’s either the CIA by some level of separation, or just some random highly organized terrorist that just wanted to kill people. I strongly lean towards CIA and their affiliates. Either way, not good. I would advise everyone to avoid cities and large events until further notice.

Durov screams about being labeled a terrorist but conveniently skips the part where he ignored direct warnings about actual terrorists recruiting on his platform. Russia handed him names, locations, networks. He did nothing. But don't you worry. Here I am to tell you that part he keeps quiet. Let's start with the basics. From the very beginning, Durov advertised his messenger as the most secure one, where nobody, absolutely nobody, would be able to read what you were talking about. Just like the Monero cryptocurrency, which allows for highly confidential transactions, Telegram attracted every kind of filth: terrorists, scammers, p*rn distributors, and organized criminals, because they felt safe there. The Russian government pointed out to Durov where terrorists on his network were hanging out and recruiting people, including children, to commit terrorist attacks, but Durov took no action to prevent such activities. Despite the fact that he tries to cover it all up as freedom of speech and whatever blah-blah he comes up with, he acts completely differently when other governments ask him to remove the channels of recruiters operating on their territory. In that case, it's not Durov's principles at work but selectivity based on his agenda. It's also interesting that, since Telegram attracted so much filth, it also attracted politicians who were conducting their dirty negotiations there. That simply means that Durov has enough kompromat that can benefit both him and the secret services of other governments.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov on what separates A Players from B Players “I can recall a few instances in my career where firing an engineer actually resulted in an increase in productivity,” Telegram founder Pavel Durov begins. He gives an example of two Android engineers building an app that are having a hard time hitting deadlines: “You think, ‘I probably have to hire a third engineer.’ But then you notice that one of [the engineers] is really weird — falling behind schedule, complaining, not assuming responsibility — and you ask, ‘What if I just fired this person?’ Then you fire this person, and in a few weeks you realize you never needed a third engineer. The problem was this guy who created more issues and problems than he solved. It’s so counterintuitive because in developing tech projects, you tend to think that you just throw more people into something and things get solved miraculously.” Pavel continues: “The other thing that people don’t realize is how demotivating working with a B Player is. Everyone can tell if the other engineer they’re working with is really competent. If the person is asking the wrong questions and they keep lagging behind, at a certain point if you’re an A Player, you get get this dissatisfaction and feeling that you are not able to realize your full potential and accomplish what you’re really meant to accomplish because of this person working next to you (or pretending to work next to you).” Pavel reflects on what it is exactly that separates these B Players from A Players: “In some cases it’s not because the person is lazy . . . It’s not about experience. More often it’s about natural ability and persistence. In 90% of cases, it’s just the inability to focus on one task for an extended period of time. Not everybody has this ability. So for people who do have this ability, it’s an insult to work alongside someone who is distracted and cannot go deep in the projects that they’re responsible for.” Video source: Lex Fridman (2025)
