• @durov Pavel Durov on x

  French police is currently raiding X's office in Paris. France is the only country in the world that is criminally persecuting all social networks that give people some degree of freedom (Telegram, X, TikTok...). Don't be mistaken: this is not a free country.

  Remember France locked up Telegram creator Pavel Durov when he landed in Paris and indicted him for Telegram's lax approach to child safety. They do not fuck around over there.
