BREAKING: ISRAEL IS BEHIND PAVEL DUROV’S ARREST?

Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Telegram posed a 'significant challenge for Israel' before CEO Pavel Durov's arrest:

"Israelis in the high-tech industry tried late in 2023 to reach Telegram's founder, Pavel Durov.

Though they successfully contacted Durov, who lives in the UAE, he was unreceptive to these private requests to improve moderation on the platform.

Many tech firms have streamlined mechanisms through which states can reach out to them to censor content, but Telegram is the least cooperative of them all.”

Haaretz also reports that Telegram has failed to remove "Antisemitic" content.

What are your thoughts on this?

⚡🇦🇪🇫🇷 BREAKING: Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been released from police custody in France and transferred to a Paris court

Durov was born in the Soviet Union. He left the country in 2014 and now lives in Dubai, where Telegram is headquartered. He also holds french citizenship

The French Govt lost $17 billion over his arrest. The UAE froze a deal to purchase 80 Rafale fighter jets and says that the arrest of Pavel Durov is outrageous. Pavel is a citizen of the UAE and a close friend of Deputy Prime Minister Hamdan Al Maktoum.

I never thought the UAE would be on the right side of Free Speech and France on the wrong side, again.

Brazil blocks Starlink accounts in standoff with Musk​

Elon Musk’s Starlink has announced that Brazil’s top judge has ordered the company’s financial accounts in the country to be blocked, amid an ongoing feud over the social media platform X.

Starlink, Musk’s satellite internet operator, said on Thursday it had received an order from Brazil’s Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes that “freezes Starlink’s finances and prevents Starlink from conducting financial transactions” in the country.

The court’s decision to sanction Starlink is a response to the lack of legal representatives in Brazil for X (formerly Twitter), a court source told Reuters.

De Moraes issued an order on Wednesday urging Musk to appoint the company’s new legal representative for X in Brazil within 24 hours or face its suspension in Latin America’s largest country.

Musk has slammed the move, claiming the platform is being punished for resisting censorship. The billionaire, who took control of Twitter in October 2022 and subsequently rebranded it as X, blasted de Moraes for “improperly punishing other shareholders and the people of Brazil.”

“SpaceX and X are two completely different companies with different shareholders. I own about 40% of SpaceX, so this [is an] absolutely illegal action by the dictator,”
Musk wrote on his social media platform.

Starlink claimed on X that de Moraes’ order was “issued in secret and without affording Starlink any of the due process of law guaranteed” by Brazil’s constitution.

“This order is based on an unfounded determination that Starlink should be responsible for the fines levied — unconstitutionally — against X,” Starlink said.

X announced earlier this month that it would close operations and fire its staff in Brazil, citing alleged “censorship orders”issued by de Moraes, while keeping its service available for Brazilian users.

Earlier this year, de Moraes ordered the suspension of multiple X accounts allegedly belonging to “digital militias” – a group of influential people associated with right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro.

These so-called “digital militias” have been accused of spreading defamatory claims and threats against members of Brazil’s Supreme Court.

X said it expected de Moraes to order the shutdown “soon,” after the deadline passed on Thursday evening, because the company would not comply with the judge’s orders, which it described as an illegal act “to censor his political opponents.”
 
Brazil no longer has Rumble and from media reports, they will no longer have X.

World powers don’t want Rumble, they don’t want X, they don’t want Telegram. They want to control information and our companies do not allow them to.

There are no other large companies fighting for freedom like we are. We put everything on the line for it, one CEO is in jail.

Advertisers boycott our companies to try and cut our economic lifeline, but they under estimate our support among the people.

The people keep us alive and keep us going.

If you want to help us, join X premium, join Rumble premium. If it gets big enough, you help us change the game.

I find it amazing that Israeli media reported on my arrest (the first of its kind in Britain), but UK mainstream media stayed silent.

Had they protested this gross abuse of power and attack on journalism, maybe the police wouldn't dare carry out further Sec 12 arrests, now targeting activists.

Why do these people even bother working in the press?
