Telegram founder Pavel Durov is one voice who has been consistent in his message about how western countries have become increasingly authoritarian in their efforts to retain power and control. Durov is the real deal; the John Galt within the mechanisms of digital communication.
The principle under attack is freedom, and the recent examples of internet and social media control via age verification are steps within this process. Durov notes these moments are like the early stages of the Titanic after hitting the iceberg, where people aboard the ship did not quite realize the scope of the danger around them.
Take the time to listen to what Durov shares with specific examples and citations to back up his warning. Well worth the time. Pavel Durov shares how Telegram emerged from a commitment to free expression and why defending digital freedom is central to protecting human rights today.

Laughable that some people believe Western gov’ts care about protecting children and buy that justification to invade privacy.
Especially in Starmer’s UK. The UK has specific policies that encourage the rape and murder of particularly, White female girls.
The USA would be right there if not for President Trump.
Canada is currently pushing hard to, “Protect”, the children. They’re issuing warnings that they will not back down on their authority. .
As long as we understand some children are more equal than others.
” For the children” nonsense has been with us for decades, George Carlin said it best “f__k the children” . Not because he wanted to hurt a child but he understood how big brother would us this focus group tested phrase to manipulate the public. He was correct.
We in the USA are resisting but the EU is falling far down the rabbit hole of DEI word police. See the UK serious jail time for speaking truth against the state narrative, like the Islamo-Goon invasions and rape gangs.
It’s way past time to poke out the 5-Eyes.
The Second Amendment is the US lifeboat.
Some here underestimate the power of this.
If I remember lightly Mr Durov was arrested by the little French dwarf, so that says a lot.
The largest standing army on the planet via the 2nd Amendment as the Founders intended. The ultimate check on runaway, Un-Constitutinal, government.
If we’re brave enough to use it, if and when necessary.
God first! Pray and fast!
At first it’s very slow. Then it’s all at once.
Isn’t it ironic that this message is coming from someone who was born in the USSR?
… the other bit of irony can be found in the upper left hand corner of the video clip … this was recorded at the Oslo Freedom Forum …. inside the EU.
“Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first strike down. They know its power.
Thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason of righteousness, temperance, and of a judgment to come in their presence.”
Frederick Douglass
We are no better in this regard, just slower to implement.
The urge to control comes from all directions, since “they” are really two sides of the same coin.
It’s nothing new, either. I’m so old I remember when Reagan’s Transportation Department led the charge for a national drinking age of 21 in 1984 by tying it to DoT funding.
There is an overlooked/masked time in fairly recent history when the world witnessed the depraved reaction of the money changers to the threat emergence of truth posed an existential threat their designs.
Men like William Tyndall began to translate God’s word into the languages of the gloablists’ empire. A man named Gutenberg had provided for printers across across Europe and beyond when the truth began to reach all men.
The reaction was swift and brutal from all powers – kings and bishops alike. The Inquisitions began.
Key take away, we are already there.
