I completely understand many of the opinions shared here. But we all know that Telegram is often used for criminal activities, some of which are highly illegal. Unfortunately, Pavel Durov isn't Mark Zuckerberg, and as already well demonstrated, if you don't have public investors in your ownership circle and you allow criminals to use your platform, things can go wrong very quickly.JohnnyDoe said:
Literally, and they are not hiding it.
The “EU values” must be protected.

You call €5M low bail? smi(&%Ibus said:
He agreed to cooperate - that's obvious if you look at the low bail for someone of his standing - and he admitted that he had been warned during the flight that the police were waiting for him at the airport. He won't be going to prison in France.

Everyone knows that Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and Telegram are used as platforms for everything from trafficking to illegal drugs and even worse. The first three get away with it, while Pavel, the "supermodel," ends up in jail.
And then people talk about justice in this world. It's so deeply corrupt that I'd rather believe in Santa Claus than trust any public system.

IMHO he was flying to Paris to make a deal. So the whole "unexpected arrest" was a big show made by French to show that "no one is above the law, look we arrested a billionaire". There will be a case heard in the court, the lawyers will get a big fat check, Durov will pay some "big" fine to make it look nice in the media and Telegram will bend even more to accommodate all the EU bulls**t regulation. All while Durov eats oysters with champagne in 5* hotel in Paris.Ibus said:

Epstein RAPED countless underage girls, and his first bail was US$ 3K.
I'm baffled by some people's view on reality. stupi#21
PS. Great job, chief! You've cracked the code! coo-:!y

For a person? Do you mind giving us some citations?
Dude! That is UBS, a Swiss multinational helping French citizens avoid getting robbed! stupi#21 And that was a TAX case! The people "imposing" that ridiculous amount were the SAME people who were going to benefit from receiving that money directly for their salaries. Like WTF???!!!
Out of curiosity, do you have any legal training or education, or have you ever worked in Law Enforcement, especially in the legal area of interest? 🙄Ibus said:
It's not an amalgam. I gave a case of a legal entity, and another of a natural person. This is called an example.

PS. Maybe you did it in a non-Western country I am unfamiliar with, and you are extrapolating from jurisprudence and stare decisis in a jurisdiction which I am unfamiliar with. I'm legitimately interested in this and how you came to these conclusions. I might be unaware of certain canons of interpretations in countries I am unfamiliar with or not fluent in their language.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too, but I always give "unknowns" the benefit of the doubt in the off-chance I could learn something. ca#"!
100% true. Maybe he was oversold by his lawyers, maybe he had something said by Macron himself - apparently they met and Macron presented Durov with a French citizenship (a strange gift to ask for imho). We'll never know, but the show is nice and popcorn-worthy.jafo said:

He is Russian, so getting SKN passport was a way for him to step away from the crazy "mother russia". UAE is a reasonable choice if you have a lot of skin in play there - and he has, the main Telegram hub is there, his investors and employees are either there or within a short flight (both from russia and Saudi), etc. He is also on a very good terms with the Crown Prince of Dubai, so that's how he probably got the citizenship.
