When will we stop falling for fabricated antisemitism scandals?
@reginalddhunter is the latest target of pro-Israel provocateurs feigning victimhood. Time to bring down the curtain on this pantomime, https://t.co/RUSp0AEkxl

Medvedev released a statment about Durov's arrest:
“Some time ago, I asked Durov why he didn't want to cooperate with law enforcement on serious crimes. "It's a matter of principle," he said. I told him, "That will cause serious problems in any country."
He believed that his biggest problems were in Russia, so he left, eventually obtaining citizenship or residency in other countries. He wanted to be a brilliant "citizen of the world," living well without a homeland. *Ubi bene, ibi patria!* (Where it is good, there is my country!)
He miscalculated. To all our common enemies now, he is still Russian—and therefore unpredictable and dangerous. Of a different blood. Definitely not a Musk or a Zuckerberg (who, by the way, actively cooperates with the FBI). Durov needs to finally understand that, like the times, one does not choose their homeland...”

Durov helped Ukrainians stage a coup d'état in 2014.
Then the whole West glorified him.
He also trolled the Russian FSB and sent them the “encryption keys” to telegram in 2017.
Back then the west cheered his fight on.
Then there's an attack on the messenger through Apple, which Pavel managed to fend off thanks to the chats that are needed by the Ukrainian military intelligence.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Durov said that the last time he was in the United States, he brought an engineer from Telegram with him, who the secret services tried to hire behind Durov's back.

This is a famous photo of Telegram founder Pavel Durov giving Putin his middle finger.
In 2011, Durov said that the Russian government had requested him to cancel the accounts of anti-government figures on his social media platform.
Durov not only did not follow, but also publicly released this photo of "raising the middle finger to Putin" in the media, which received cheers from the West.
After the 2014 Ukrainian coup, Durov refused to provide the Russian government with information on users involved in the Ukrainian colorful revolution.
In the same year, he left Russia, claiming that Russia was "unable to keep up with the information age". Shortly after, he acquired French and UAE citizenship and stated that he had no plans to return to Russia.
Today, Durov was arrested by France on charges of using the platform to "support terrorist activities" and "pedophilia" after refusing to provide user information to the United States and Israel, facing 20 years of imprisonment.

The founder of Telegram has been detained by French intelligence services at Le Bourget Airport in Paris while exiting a private jet.
He is expected to be presented to a judge later this evening, facing multiple charges, according to TF1.
Potential charges include terrorism, drug-related offenses, complicity, fraud, money laundering, concealment, and possession of child exploitation content.
The main concern of EU authorities regarding Telegram is its encrypted messaging, as reported by TF1

Telegram did a lot of damage to the French army in Africa.
The Africans organized all their protests, resistance and everything else against the French occupation forces through Telegram.
Russian mercenaries, obviously, use different platforms, but Telegram played for them an important role in accelerating the deterioration of France's military posture, especially in Africa.
I think it's important to take it into consideration when wondering why the French would get involved.
The most accurate information about the situation on the ground in Ukraine comes out on Telegram, and NATO can't control it.
The biggest Wagner channels are on Telegram.
In general, the best way to assess if a disinformation campaign is taking place, is to check if multiple channels that are pro-Wagner or so have relayed it.
Many people use Telegram as their source of information because the information comes directly from the field.
Many dead NATO soldiers appear on Telegram and the CIA and NATO command can no longer hide their direct involvement in the war broke out in Russia.

Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram, was arrested today in France, there are different charges against him.
Telegram is the main source of information about the Israeli genocide and massacre in Gaza.
Thousands of videos of Jews massacring children have been posted on Telegram channels by journalists living in Gaza.
Israel is trying to stop that flow of information and that is why it has killed over 100 journalists in Gaza alone.
