NEW MESSAGE FROM PAVEL DUROV: Legal Challenges and Commitment to User Privacy

NEW MESSAGE FROM HIM IN THE TELEGRAM CHANNEL:
In this video, we discuss a recent situation involving Telegram's CEO, who was questioned by French authorities for four days after arriving in Paris. He was told he could be held personally responsible for the illegal activities of users on the platform, as the authorities hadn't received responses from Telegram.

He highlights several surprising facts: Telegram has an official EU representative to handle such requests, and he himself had previously helped establish communication between Telegram and the French government. He also points out that accusing a CEO for third-party actions on a platform using outdated laws is not the right approach and could stifle innovation.

The video goes on to explore how Telegram is dedicated to maintaining a balance between privacy and security, and how the company has previously left countries like Russia and Iran when asked to compromise its principles. While Telegram is committed to improving its systems and handling requests more efficiently, it remains firm in its mission to protect users' rights globally. The CEO also promises significant improvements in platform safety and transparency as Telegram's user base approaches 1 billion.

Stay tuned for more on how Telegram plans to strengthen both its security and its commitment to privacy.
