US government wants access to Telegram

Earlier this year, Pavel Durov was interviewed by Tucker Carlson, and he revealed that US agents tried to hire his engineer.

He said: “There was an attempt to secretly hire my engineer behind my back by US cybersecurity officers.”

It seems they wanted to install open source tools and hack into the platform, with their aim being to spy on people. US government told France to arrest Durov and make up these phony charges.

None of the 3 “superpowers” can be trusted. They do whatever is in the own interests no matter how immoral.

@Morvoren Are parents immoral in their efforts to protect their children?

@Morvoren I understand what sree251 is asking.

“None of the 3 “superpowers” can be trusted. They do whatever is in the own interests no matter how immoral.”

Pavel Durov can be trusted. He did not hand information to Putin, or suppress opposition to Russia on our platform ВКонтакте (VK) when he owned it. He is a tech owner who is neutral and wants to stay out of politics. That isn't good enough to US and its allies.

@emiliya It wouldnt be hard for me to find a different situation that would prove the reverse.

I am afraid Pavel will be neutralized sooner or later. No private citizen can go against the government, not even Donald Trump who has mounted the most powerful resistance by far against state control of citizens' freedom.

France is just a front for the powers behind the scene. It is a big cat playing with a mouse till the rodent is half dead. Look at Assange. Pavel won't last long. Even Musk is watching his own tail. My money is not on Trump winning his fight against government power. It is too hard.
