Russia issues international warrant for Telegram founder
The Russian Interior Ministry has charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with "assisting terrorism," and his name has been placed on the international wanted list. These accusations are part of Moscow's ongoing efforts to control the internet, as authorities have accused Telegram's management of failing to delete channels and communications used by Ukrainian intelligence agencies and terrorist organizations. These channels are reportedly used to plan terrorist attacks and cybercrimes that have caused casualties. This comes after a Russian criminal investigation against Durov, as part of an attempt to suppress freedom of expression and privacy rights by restricting and imposing limitations on messaging apps and social media platforms, within the broader context of Russian authorities tightening online communication tools since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
