VITALIK: ARREST OF TELEGRAM CEO IS A THREAT TO FREEDOM
The Ethereum co-founder responded to reports of Pavel Durov’s arrest, saying the outlook for freedom in Europe looked very bad:
“I've criticized Telegram before for not being serious with encryption.
But (given the info available so far: the charge seems to be just being "unmoderated" and not giving up people's data), this looks very bad and worrying for the future of software and comms freedom in Europe.”
