Russia has issued an international arrest warrant for Pavel Durov, Telegram’s founder, accusing him of complicity in terrorism for allegedly failing to remove channels linked to Ukraine’s alleged sabotage operations. Facing possible life imprisonment if convicted, Durov—who holds French and Emirati passports and has long operated outside Russia—has responded with a defiant middle finger gesture on X. Authorities claim Telegram’s dating chatbot recruited minors for terrorist acts, leading to dozens of arrests. This escalating conflict underscores the global battle between tech platforms and governments over digital control, especially as Durov’s history of defying Russian regulators continues to fuel tensions.
