Arresting Dissent: The Case of Pavel Durov
This chapter examines the arrest of Telegram's founder, Pavel Durov, amid serious allegations like child exploitation and drug offenses. It argues that his arrest may be politically motivated, serving as a broader commentary on governmental control over social media and the silencing of dissenting voices. The discussion critiques inconsistencies in accountability and transparency within government actions, while juxtaposing Durov's situation with the lack of legal repercussions for high-profile figures in similar scandals.
