Bad news for the deep state’s plans to censor Telegram.
Telegram owner Pavel Durov revealed to Tucker Carlson that he will not give in to deep state pressure to censor free speech on the social media platform Telegram.
The idea of creating Telegram arose when Durov encountered security problems when using other means of communication. Nikolai Durov , Pavel’s brother, developed the encryption standard that is used in Telegram to this day.
Now, with the development of Telegram channels, in addition to the general priority of security and privacy, Telegram has a mission – to allow people to express freedom of speech
Durov was attacked while he was looking for an office in San Francisco. Then he himself broke his smartphone, gave some resistance to the attackers and was able to escape.
Durov tried many places where you can develop Telegram: Berlin, London, Singapore. But everywhere I ran into bureaucracy. In the end he chose Dubai.
During its seven years of operation in the UAE, Telegram has not experienced any pressure from the government.
Telegram ignored requests from governments, which it considered a violation of the values of freedom of speech and protection of privacy.
The greatest pressure comes from Apple and Google , which can censor content on their platforms. After what he experienced in America, he has little faith that platforms developed in the US are safe. Therefore, Durov believes that products of new brands may appear that will be able to protect the privacy of their owners.
Telegram should not take sides.
Governments are becoming less accommodating and tolerant of private life. At the same time, Durov’s faith in maintaining confidentiality in the future remains.
Durov welcomes the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk , as it contributes to the development of the social networking industry.
Tucker focused the audience’s attention on the part of the interview in which Durov talks about the pressure tactics that the US government is using against him, including visits from FBI agents and attempts to recruit his engineers .
Pavel has had several hundred million dollars in his bank account or bitcoins for ten years. And he doesn’t do anything with them. He has no real estate, no planes, no yachts. In other words he is not susceptible to being bought off and he is self sufficient enough to not be at the behest of any government or lobby.
