Durov's Arrest Details Released, Leaving More Questions Than Answers

This has nothing to do with free speech.

Telegram has access to the largest incriminating material on the Russian government, its related terrorists, arms sellers, etc. These traces cannot be erased in one moment, and it is almost impossible for the messenger to find an alternative.

The question here is, will Durov himself want to go back to Mordor? At one time, he [allegedly] refused to work with the FSB and somehow [miraculously] escaped from the Russian Federation. Later, Moscow wrested VKontakte from Durov, turning it into a social network censored by the special services. The businessman allegedly did not hand over the access keys to Telegram, but the special services of many countries have doubts about this. In any case, the "indifferent citizens" of the Russian Federation, who yesterday assessed Durov's activities "absolutely outside the legal field" and called him a traitor, are now breaking into a shit to show him their support.

Instruction has already arrived from the Kremlin : high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense, security forces, officials from the presidential administration, large businessmen to delete their correspondence from Telegram.

This explains why Moscow works so hard for its "enemy": what is Durov holding in his hands so that he does not have to see the world, if the owner of Telegram does hand over the confidentiality keys?

To be honest, Pavlo Durov is the biggest trophy of the Western intelligence services since Edward Snowden, the ex-CIA employee who revealed more than one terabyte of secret data about the mass electronic surveillance programs of the US government.

By the way, Durov's agreement with the investigation is unlikely to be officially announced. If the businessman agrees to everything, then for us his release will look like a victory for the lawyers. And if not, then he will sit for a while until he changes his mind: at the same time, there will be time for meditation.
