Pavel Durov's Wiki page, reference #11 clearly states he was a member of the World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders class of 2017. The WayBack machine only goes back to 2019 making it difficult to verify whether this is true or false. Thoughts?

Ok, I’ll wade in with a few of my own paranoid meanderings. IMO, the Wiki reference is true and Telegram is nothing more than an unrestricted Facebook-style data-mine. Don’t get me wrong: I still use it like everybody else, but I always assume this is the case. It’s the “you don’t get nuffin’ for nuffin’” principle. If someone wants a truly private service, they will need to pay for it, and handsomely too.

This whole debacle smells to me of an operation attempting to validate, to the freedom-loving community that use the service, someone with very questionable associates and history.

But hey, I’m just a paranoid freak. What would I know?

Looks like my paranoia has been somewhat validated, as explained in the following video:

"You either have freedom of speech or you don't," Pavel Durov.

Ah yes, our favorite selective free absolutist. Also known as an opportunist.

(Reminder that Mr Durov continues to block RT & Sputnik on Telegram in territories far beyond any legal requirement - such as the US)
