I think Durov might have defected. Why did he flew to Paris right after he was in Baku. It’s only a theory but please stop that non sense about free speech. It’s all about who is controlling telegram. I feel that everybody is reacting to this story all parroting the same narrative about free speech. Free speech is an illusion as long as platforms are owned by a someone/corporation or gov. If you own a social platform making huge amount of money you’re responsible for it. Look at Elon he is actively censoring and controlling the narrative on X now. Lol
Maybe he wants to save his life…why would he fly directly from Baku to Paris? He knew he would get arrested in Paris…
Did you ever think that Durov might have surrendered himself to the French authorities? He flew direct from Baku to Paris…Why? I don’t think this all thing has anything to do with freedom of speech. He is a CEO of telegram. Do you really think telegram has no backdoors? Whatever is going on with this whole story is fishy. I think Pavel might want to protect his life…Russia wants him. With great power comes great responsibility.
I think Durov is not innocent. Telegram is potentially tied to the Kremlin. Don’t be fooled by people virtue signaling and hiding behind free speech. As long as platforms are owned and control by someone free speech is compromised. (Same with Elon by the way)

Buddha was teaching was about freeing yourself from the ego. It’s the ego that enslaves human beings. To me freedom is linked to empathy and freedom stops when it hinder other human being freedom.

You’re welcome. Most frauds are accounting frauds. Triple entry accounting/Bitcoin fixes this.
Thinking about triple entry accounting and #Bitcoin
Single entry accounting Mesopotamia ca. 5000 B.C
Double entry accounting 15 century Venice
Triple entry accounting Bitcoin 21 century
Here is a paper written in 2005 before Bitcoin was born.
I can’t help but thinking about triple entry accounting and how Bitcoin is solving this. 🤯
As the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer noted: “All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; and third, it is accepted as self-evident.”
