So with that said, you're actually against the arrest of Pavel Durov as I understand it? As he's being arrested for not committing any crimes, but for not giving information about the people who are committing the actual crimes.

I'm not against or for his arrest categorically. If his actions caused harm, he should be punished but I don't know if his actions caused harm. Regardless, unless the app itself does something nefarious, like exfiltrating user data on the client side, it should not be banned.
Aiding and abetting are crimes.
