As expected, Pavel Durov started making changes to Telegram after his release.
Telegram disables ‘misused’ features as CEO faces criminal charges. This is how the government, under the disguise of law, makes enterprises work for them. If he had not listened to them, then he would have gone to prison for certain and would have lost more money in the name of penalty.
Twitter is been attacked in Brazil because Elon Musk decided not to sensor opposition. Pavel Durov is been persecuted because he decided to uphold privacy. From some indications, the government is gradually putting these platforms under their control. Telegram will have to make adequate changes to it's platform or risk more sanctions. The company is currently changing private chats and moderation rules to suit the standard of the government. Pavel had indicated his interest to keep fighting for privacy but it seems the fight is getting fierce. He would have to obey the government or lose his business.
