Russia's Telegram crackdown: Pavel Durov charged with aiding terrorism
Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with aiding terrorism and placed him on an international wanted list. The FSB accused Durov's platform of not removing content allegedly used by Ukrainian intelligence and extremist organizations. This action is part of the Kremlin's ongoing effort to tighten control over the internet following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
