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.

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.

Pavel Durov Reveals Attempted Poisoning, Telegram Pressure, Bitcoin Fortune, and Over 100 Children Entrepreneur Pavel Durov shared candid details about his life and interactions with authorities in an interview with podcast host Lex Fridman. Durov claimed that in spring 2018 he survived an attempted poisoning. He experienced sharp pain, vision and hearing loss, difficulty breathing, and eventually lost consciousness. He woke up the next morning covered in bruises and was unable to walk for two weeks. He also spoke about pressure on Telegram. According to Durov, the head of French intelligence demanded that certain channels be deleted before elections in Romania, but Durov only blocked those violating platform rules. Durov confirmed that in 2013 he bought thousands of bitcoins at $700 each and predicts the price could reach $1 million. Regarding the “two chairs” question noticed during his conversation with Tucker Carlson, Durov explained it as a famous prison riddle, a metaphor for choosing between two bad options. On a personal note, Durov revealed he doesn’t know the exact number of his children but estimates it to be over 100, having donated sperm in his youth at friends’ requests.

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.

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.”

Telegram founder Pavel Durov just reminded everyone why TON 💎 is built differently. He shared data showing that TON finalizes transactions in just 0.6 seconds - making it the fastest L1 out there. 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!

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.

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. Durov emphasized that we must use technology to defend our freedom and rights. Source：

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)

🚨🚫#BREAKING: Telegram has been completely removed from the App Store GLOBALLY, which is a clear attack on free speech. Months ago, Andrew Tate and Telegram owner Pavel Durov talked about how this was going to happen: “As soon as you have a large platform, if you say the truth, they will attack you with lawfare. They’ve done it to me, they’ve done it to Trump, Pavel, Assange, etc.”

Following the January 6 events, Telegram founder Pavel Durov received demands from Democrats for user data related to the incident. They warned that failure to comply would be deemed a violation of the U.S. Constitution. Republicans later sent him another letter, warning that if Telegram complied with the Democrats' request for user data, it would be in violation of the U.S. Constitution. Now, a key ally of the Biden administration and a staunch supporter of NATO has thrown him behind bars for “pedo criminal offenses,” a charge they themselves are guilty of.
