Following the controversial arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France, many celebrities have supported him, including Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy, Vitalik Buterin, Jackson Hinkle, and Tucker Carlson. Durov is facing charges including money laundering and complicity in terrorism for failing to monitor the content of his messaging app. Following this news, the value of the TON token linked to Telegram has dropped by more than 20%. Durov’s supporters see this action as a threat to freedom of expression. Elon Musk criticized the growing censorship in Europe and posted the hashtag #FreePavel. Vitalik Buterin also called this situation worrying for the future of the software and freedom of communication in Europe. Jackson Hinkle claimed that Durov’s arrest could have been due to a lack of cooperation with the intelligence community.
