Durov was forced to divest and flee Russia because he refused to censor and share private info on his users with the Russian government.

Now he has been arrested in France for refusing to censor and share private info on his users with Western governments.

Say what you want be he does stick to his principles.

>refused to censor and share private info

is that why there are tons of examples of russian dissidents being DOXXED on telegram? and non russia aligned OSINT accounts regularly deleted with no reason given?

Horrible horrible reflection on France. No wonder the entirety of Europe fair so poorly when it comes to innovation and tech compared to America.
