UPDATE: Tucker Carlson commented -

Pavel Durov left Russia when the government tried to control his social media company, Telegram. But in the end, it wasn’t Putin who arrested him for allowing the public to exercise free speech. It was a western country, a Biden administration ally and enthusiastic NATO member, that locked him away. Pavel Durov sits in a French jail tonight, a living warning to any platform owner who refuses to censor the truth at the behest of governments and intel agencies. Darkness is descending fast on the formerly free world. Here’s our interview with Durov from several months ago: see below.


Russian-born creator of the encrypted free-speech application Telegram has been arrested in France, where he is a citizen. Durov fled Russia years ago on threats from the Russian government.

The charges seem to be terrorism, drugs, and organized crime on the Telegram platform. He faces a 20 year sentence.

French officials declared, "He let multiple crimes be committed on his platform  and did nothing to prevent it."
