“They locked it to take the keys,” he wrote on his Telegram channel. At the same time, Simonyan believes that Durov will abandon them.
The editor-in-chief also advised those who are used to using Telegram for “sensitive” conversations and correspondence to delete the messages.
Meanwhile, according to experts, there are no risks to the courier’s existence and development in connection with Durov’s arrest. Moreover, it is completely impossible to collect Durov’s keys and download the correspondence. The fact is that the correspondence is stored in cloud storages around the world, there are at least a dozen of them, and all the information is encrypted.
Recall that Pavel Durov was arrested in France on Saturday evening at Le Bourget airport. According to preliminary data, Durov wants to give Durov access to encrypted correspondence on terrorist topics. The order could have been issued due to the billionaire’s failure to cooperate with law enforcement.
The owner of Telegram has now been taken into custody and will soon be able to appear before a judge who will determine his future fate.
The Russian embassy in France has demanded that the local authorities explain the reasons for Durov’s arrest. However, the French side is in no hurry to respond and “is avoiding interaction on this issue by all possible means.”
