Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former President, has criticized Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, for his decision to leave Russia. Medvedev's criticism appears to be centered on Durov's departure from the country in the wake of increased government pressure and regulatory challenges.

Pavel Durov, who is also the founder of VKontakte (VK), Russia's largest social network, left Russia in 2014 after refusing to comply with government demands for user data and restrictions on certain groups. Since then, Durov has become a vocal advocate for privacy and freedom of expression, positioning Telegram as a secure and private messaging platform.

Medvedev's comments reflect the broader tensions between the Russian government and tech entrepreneurs like Durov, who prioritize user privacy and resist government overreach. Durov's decision to leave Russia and operate Telegram from abroad has been a point of contention, particularly as the app has been a platform for free speech and protest movements in various countries, including Russia.

The criticism from Medvedev likely reflects the ongoing struggle between state authorities and tech companies regarding control over information and user data, #MtGoxRepayments #BinanceLaunchpoolDOGS #TelegramCEO #BinanceBlockchainWeek #CryptoMarketMoves $BTC $ETH $BNB
