Not directly related to the arrest, but to Durov:
His Telegram channel is somewhat odd. It's a mix of what you'd expect (updates / general stuff about Telegram), some slightly weird stuff (highly praising countries he visited or talking about his oh-so-high-quality sperm and how he's the biological father of "over 100" kids), and then there's just shilling for some random watch-ads-to-get-coins things or whatever that totally aren't scams built on Telegram's new mini-app thing and TON (which is Telegram's cryptocurrency that they can't legally sell as theirs).
You can take a look for yourself here: https://t.me/s/durov https://t.me/s/durov
- souvlakee 2y agoHe's an interesting but odd man. It's rare to see him fully dressed on his Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/durov https://www.instagram.com/durov. I expected him to remove his clothes during Carlson's interview, but he didn't.
- iscoelho 2y agoIt definitely takes effort to stay that fit. Nothing wrong with being proud of the way you look (:
- iscoelho 2y ago1) Updates/general makes sense as you say. 2) "Praising countries" aka focusing on increasing the reach of Telegram, similar to Zuckerberg with Facebook. 3) "biological father of "over 100" kids" is quite the mildly interesting fact. It's unsurprising for an individual in his position to be a little eccentric. 4) "shilling for some random watch-ads-to-get-coins" aka focusing on increasing engagement with the Telegram app ecosystem that directly benefits Telegram. All make sense to me.

- hello_computer 2y agoJack, Pavel, Zucc... all security-state agents, just different states. Anything centralized, or at least centrally intermediated is full-blown AIDS. I don't like why they arrested him, but he had it coming regardless.
