« on: September 01, 2024, 02:27:43 AM »This is a landmark case, and this early it picture France as a country with an oppressive president, and this is bad for the reputation of a country considered a bastion of freedom in the old days.There is news that Dubai has canceled a multi-billion-dollar jet deal with France. The media is claiming that this happened after the arrest of Pavel Durov, a Dubai citizen, and that they ended the deal because they were unhappy with how he was treated. Really? Is it that easy to end deals just because of a citizen?
Any country can arrest Durov but not France, Macron do not represent his country's legacy. I see the world pressuring Macron to drop all the charges and let Durov leave France.
Anyway, I know this is just an excuse the real reason could be anything. The president made it clear that there is no political interest involved. First of all, we have to ask why governments would be involved at this level. Don’t they have better things to do? Haha. Privacy is a big issue, as is sharing confidential information. The hunt for Durov was too much, but unfortunately, he did not hire good planners.
Many people against of this arrest since they think its against the free speech of people which is reasonable reason.
With his current arrest he became a internet prophet https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/aug/31/arrest-of-telegram-ceo-pavel-durov-could-strengthen-heroic-image
But let see the update of this case if they release the man since I think it will create a lot more noise especially many people think that his issue from French government is so questionable.
