PAVEL DUROV: THE LARGEST PRESSURE ON TELEGRAM ISN’T FROM GOVERNMENTS
“I would say the largest pressure on Telegram isn’t coming from governments; it’s coming from Apple and Google.
When it comes to freedom of speech, those two platforms can basically censor whatever you can read or access on your smartphone.
This wouldn’t be a small issue for us because a large portion of the world’s population would lose access to a valuable tool they use every day.
It wouldn’t be a small issue for them either. I believe there must be some compromise in such cases.”
