The free and romantic France is dead! White terror and political alignment will continue to erode the freedom of speech and capital contracts of the French people.
The Paris Olympics, which opened with LGBT, forced the manipulation of political human rights to be "popularized" to the French and people all over the world. As the main battlefield of the European Renaissance, the French people can accept the freedom of human rights. Human desires and subjective initiative cannot be suppressed and arranged. The Renaissance transformed from feudal terror to humanism centered on people. However, France, which was known for its capital freedom and contractual spirit, has now lost its character and principles and only obeys the politics of great powers and long-arm jurisdiction.
At 8 p.m. on August 24, Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov was arrested as he stepped off a private plane at Le Bourget Airport outside Paris.
He faces multiple charges, including terrorism, drug trafficking, fraud, money laundering and child abuse. French media reported that Durov, who holds dual French and Russian citizenship, could face up to 20 years in prison. He was arrested for lack of content moderation on Telegram and his failure to cooperate with French law enforcement. The charges stem from a search warrant issued by the General Directorate of the French National Judicial Police.
According to Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Russian Secure Internet Alliance, Pavel Durov's arrest was a request from the United States to crack down on the super currency Toncoin (TON) circulating on Telegram in order to continue the previous sanctions policy of the US SEC.
The same ending as the familiar routine. The last uncooperative billionaire who was accused of terrorism, money laundering and fraud was CZ CZ(CZ's four-month sentence is about to end and he will be officially released on September 29). BN, founded by CZ, has attracted the covetousness of upper-level capital for its ability to attract money and accumulate wealth in the crypto industry. It is a family skill to occupy the nest of a bird and grab the wolf without any effort. After paying 4.3 billion US dollars in penalties and compensation and giving up the seat of the leader of the martial arts world, he was still sentenced to 4 months in prison. Now the king of encrypted chat Durov may face the same ending. Because he is very disobedient and dares to resist.
I won’t go into details about Durov’s growth and success here. Those who are interested can look for information. However, the spirit that Durov has always pursued is freedom of speech and decentralization , which is naturally in line with the blockchain and encryption community. He has a large number of supporters in the Telegram encrypted chat software and TON community he founded. After Pavel Durov was arrested in France, many team members of the TON ecosystem spoke out:
Steve Yun, chairman of TON Foundation, published an article citing Durov’s views in a 2015 CNN interview: “It is impossible to make messaging technology safe for everyone except terrorists. It is either safe or it is not safe”, “All these activities are used as an excuse to monitor citizens and suppress dissidents”. This is the best annotation of Durov’s experience today.
TON Ventures officially stated in a statement, "Today, we see more than ever the necessity of free speech and decentralization - two causes advocated by @durov and at the core of the TON spirit. We believe that the TON and TG communities will become stronger as a result. #FREEDUROV" This statement was also retweeted and supported by Inal Kardan, partner of TON Ventures.
#FreePavel has formed a consensus and resistance force on the Internet, just like the justice movement to rescue Assange, it has attracted support from all walks of life. Elon Musk also posted a message satirizing that in 2030 you may be executed in Europe for liking a meme. The West has returned to darkness, and Sun Ge also took out his ancestral 10 million reward for clues.
In the massive rescue wave, the flag of REDO was raised high. Digital Resistance was initiated by members of the TON Foundation, aiming to maintain and defend personal freedom, privacy and information security through technical means.
In this movement, REDO, the TON ecosystem MEME coin , has received a lot of attention because of its symbolic significance and seems to have become the spiritual totem of the movement.
Even the profile picture of the official X account of TON chain has been changed to the image of REDO. The top post of its X account also mentioned: It is recommended that the community change the profile picture to a resistance dog.
The modification of the profile picture started from TON’s community account TON Society, which posted yesterday:
“Today, we stand in solidarity with Pavel Durov, the creator of Telegram. In support of Digital Resistance, we are updating the Toncoin logo and profile picture on the TON Community Channel to the global symbol of digital resistance – the Resistance Dog. Pavel Durov started this movement while fighting to preserve the privacy of Telegram users and protect free speech.”
The post, which reads like a battle cry, also suggests that participants change their profile pictures to resistance dogs.
It is expected that the future trend of REDO is likely to be highly synchronized with the progress of the entire rescue operation. If there are still leaders and developers with appeal, who can ensure the sustainable operation of consensus groups and community products, the future will be promising.
