“They’re going to charge [Telegram founder Pavel Durov] with terrorism because he has refused to censor certain groups,“ former CIA analyst Larry Johnson told Sputnik. “Telegram is one of the few channels that actually allows information that’s critical of Western policy to go on. I think that’s really at the root of this,“ the ex-State Department official said, noting the platform is used by Hamas supporters in the Middle East. The analyst called the charges against Durov “a trumped up political case,“ suggesting they are designed to intimidate the tech entrepreneur. “There was a time when he was considered friendly with [French President Emmanuel] Macron,“ Johnson added. “But that’s clearly come and gone because this kind of arrest would not have happened without Macron’s knowledge and approval.“ Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live Source: Geopolitics Live
