For reasons that I’m sure they’d deny are related to certain recent events ; Telegram has experienced a change of heart and now cares about it’s role in disseminating deepfake pornography.
It’s almost like there’s a soft, fleshy, core with a fear response inside the nested legal fictions for any regulator with the nerve to reach for it.

In a farewell message on social media in 2014, Durov said the lack of an independent justice system stopped him from returning to Russia. He hasn’t been back since.
Durov allegedly visited Russia about fifty times between 2015 and 2021.
It looks as if Pavel Durov reached a mutually beneficial understanding with the Kremlin.

This is beautiful.
Pavel Durov had around 50 secret visits to Russia between 2015 and 2021.
Following the failure of his cryptocurrency project in the U.S., he got back to Russia - and the Kremlin suddenly decided to stop blocking Telegram, and Durov immediately made a plea to pay off his debts to investors.

Yup. The simple fact that Telegram is still up and running in Russia means that there is, let’s say an arrangement , at the very least.
