“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...

📹 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.

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)
