The market is gloomy again, no one wants to trade anything, so we just talk about world affairs! 😅😅
👉I feel that Pavel Durov's thinking is very similar to Bitcoin's father Satoshi Nakamoto.
He wants to build a decentralized, completely free social networking platform, not controlled by governments around the world. Does it sound familiar? The philosophy of blockchain, right?
This is further confirmed when Durov wants to incorporate blockchain into Tele, from payment tools to accompanying dapps, starting with $TON and a series of projects such as NOT, $DOGS , or hamster-kombat that you are plowing.
However, the difference between Durov and Satoshi is that the father of Bitcoin accepted to step back to keep his brainchild safe, but Durov did not. The reason for his arrest in France is certainly not simply related to the 12 newly announced charges, but also to political disputes between countries.
=> Please read my explanation below carefully!
------------------------
💥First, please pay attention to the detail that Durov was arrested right at Le Bourget airport, Paris. This means that this plan was planned by France long before, and as soon as Durov set foot on the territory, he would be immediately arrested.
In particular, there are sources saying that the Tele boss sensed danger months ago and deliberately avoided flying to European countries. Therefore, it is not excluded that Durov did not volunteer to go to Paris, but could have been arrested ELSEWHERE and “escorted” here.
🤔By August 25, news about Durov had taken the media by storm. Many celebrities spoke out against the arrest, notably American billionaire Elon Musk and Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin.
The community even quickly turned the phrase#FreePavelinto a hot hashtag on social networks. Investors of TON – the blockchain backed by Tele, also simultaneously changed their avatars to “Resistance Dog” to show support for the Russian businessman.
On the Russian side, the ambassador asked the French government to clarify the incident and requested access to protect Durov's legitimate rights. However, France refused on the grounds that Durov also has French nationality, and they have the right to detain citizens to serve the investigation.
👉Here, the story becomes more complicated when Durov is revealed to have dual Russian and French NATIONALITY. Please remember this detail, because it is directly related to the reason for his arrest and the tension in diplomatic relations between Russia and the entire EU.
WHY DOES DUROV HAVE DUAL NATIONALITY???
Specifically, in the early 2010s, Durov developed an application called Vkontakte himself - then turned it into a famous social network in Russia. Given the influence of this platform, the Russian government wanted Durov to cooperate to censor content in accordance with local laws. However, he refused, decided to abandon his brainchild Vkontakte, left Russia for Europe, became a French citizen and built the Tele empire as it is today.
However, peace still did not come to Durov. His products were once again assessed by the regulatory agency as containing elements harmful to the community. This time, the French Government announced 12 serious accusations against Durov and Tele, typically among them the accusation of "Refusing to provide the necessary information and documents upon request of the competent authority".
💥In other words, during the period of tense diplomatic relations between Russia and the West (represented here by France), both sides want to censor content and manage Tele to some extent. This is not difficult to understand when Durov's Tele is growing at a dizzying speed. The content posted there can influence the thoughts and control the actions of billions of people around the world.
👉For Durov, allowing governments to participate in management goes against his original goal of a free, decentralized platform. Therefore, conflict is inevitable.
🤔In short, the arrest of Pavel Durov is closely related to the competition of major powers to control the operation of the Tele application. According to the latest information, France has increased the temporary detention period of Durov from 4 days to 6 days. Therefore, it will not be until the end of August 28 (local time) that the community will know whether he will be freed or prosecuted and detained further.
