Europe has declared war on any kind of free speech platform. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Pavel Durov, the billionaire co-founder and CEO of messaging app Telegram was arrested at the Bourget airport outside of Paris Saturday evening, according to TF1 TV, citing an unnamed source.
According to the report, Durov, 39, was traveling aboard his private jet after arriving from Azerbaijan, which triggered a French search warrant issued by the OFMIN of the French judicial police due to his inclusion in a wanted persons file (FPR).
Telegram offers end-to-end encrypted messaging – and allows users to set up “channels” to disseminate information quickly to followers.
“He made a blunder this evening. We don’t know why … Was this flight just a stopover? In any case, he’s in custody!” a source close to the investigation told the news outlet (translated by Google).
Durav was detained by the National Anti-Fraud Office (ONAF), over the alleged facilitation of various crimes including terrorism, narcotics trafficking, and fraud.
“On his platform, he allowed an incalculable number of offences and crimes to be committed, for which he did nothing to moderate or cooperate,” a source told TF1 TV.
It’s not the most encrypted service.
He wouldn’t let gov see everything and they got pissed?
Also, he is Russian.
The old start your own platform, when only a billionaire can do it.
Who decided on plane landing in France?
“You are always a Russian.”
D. Medvedev
