Telegram CEO is arrested, do you continue investing in tokens in Ton ecosystem?

It's not the end of the case, yep We shall see how things will go in the near future with TON from such events.

Yep. The charges against Pavel Durov are serious, and the potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison is alarming.
Durov’s refusal to provide data to authorities has always been about protecting user privacy, these accusations take the situation to a whole new level.
And this is so stupid. What happened to freedom of speech? This is a blatant and deeply troubling overreach of power.

It is unfortunate that he has to go through all these trauma just to protect the users of the platform.  I was wondering why all these sudden turn against freedom of speech.  I could remember how they talk about freedom of speech to Africa and now they are the ones fighting freedom of speech. The world has gone far beyond when people would be blackmailed just to get at them to submit under pressure. I believe all these have a political undertones which is likely the reasons for his arrest but the French government is hiding it. With time many things would unfold but by then , it might likely be a resistance to the government by the Crypto community there.

This case is a real-life example of the complexity of issues we encounter in the digital age. No easy or simple answer is available. Each case needs to be explained in detail. What Pavel Durov did was the most unexpected thing. When the product that was being developed was rising and holding various kinds of programs it made some people dislike it. I very much believe Durov has a lot of support and will soon get over the problem he is facing.

In the realm of free speech and democracy today, Free Speech is only free if you support the official narrative and if you're not part of them you're no longer part of this world.
Republics and States have diverged, but they continue to preach democracy and human rights to us. lol
And Durov's arrest is another sign of the times we live in.

There's a saying that says if you can not beat them join them. The government knows they can not be able to win the issue of freedom of speech, is it not better they join their people in supporting the freedom of speech that they claim they have granted their people while in the real sense they are just witch hunting them for always saying the truth and protecting their privacy.

Of what use is democracy when the masses can not be heard neither can they be allowed to talk. This is more of an autocratic system and a dictatorship rulership where the masses are subjected to whatever the rulership implements without constructive criticism. The Durov's case is exactly a good case study.

The charges that will be brought against PD are very serious and, of course, the punishment that will be imposed on him is also extraordinary if it can be proven in court and this is certainly not easy to resolve.
It should be all wrong for privacy matters but if this involves a very serious violation, of course you have to cooperate to provide the desired data, so that there is no impression of obstruction under the pretext of freedom.
But this will not affect Telegram because there are many experts who can replace it, just like the Binance case.

What freedom of speech?
Seriously why is everyone screaming about freedom of speech?
The accusations are petty and simple, they allowed CP channels to thrive there, share hundreds of GB of CP , illegal drugs, illegal gun deals, gore and rape, what has this to do with freedom of speech? I can give you a list of a few channels that are still up, you will puke in 10 seconds once you're in, do you think anyone there is about freedom of speech?

Actually, let's do a little experiment, how many here have used Telegram to voice their freedom of speech and how many to collect coins?
When was the last time you used Telegram to voice your opinion? Common, I can already hear crickets!
I want one example from you how you used telegram as the only option to express yourself!

And before we forget, Macron did granted Durov a French citizenship in 2021 and that's just one part of the puzzle. And there are reports that he invited Durov in France and that's where he grab him.

So in any sense, whatever Macron spin it as this is not political, we really can't wonder that there are no political implications here, and that the case will be handled by French judiciary system, without "political interference".

The case is now in the waiting room of sorts - but what is warning is that the cases in the same manner as it was recently started to pop up somewhere around the globe: in South Korea, for example (with the same causes - non-cooperation with the cops/government;D).

I've also heard about the relationship between Macron and Durov, and Durov just went to France to meet Macron. Could this be a trap set by Macron to arrest Durov and obtain important information from Telegram users? Politics is as complicated as the crypto market!

I hope we'll soon have the results of this lawsuit and can escape the FUD to focus on the uptrend. If Telegram loses its ability to protect user privacy, many crypto projects will also have problems as it becomes difficult to build communities through Telegram channels and groups as they do now. They might have to use Discord or some other less popular app than Telegram!

And in this conspiracy how does it work the fact that they released him on bail with just a two-week checkup at the police station?
You don't grab a guy and arrest him if he is that important only to let him roam free around the country, if they really wanted to and it was politically motivated they wouldn't have granted him bail in the first place!

You do realize that by saying the French gaining important data about Telegram users from Durov it means Durov has the said data in the first place , so your privacy is already gone, right?

I hold a few Ton coins, lots of notcoin, lots of dogs too, and lots of several other tokens built and running on the Ton blockchain like Fish, Tpet, Sox and a host of others.

Yes, Durov's arrest have had a negative impact on my bag, but I have not even the slightest worry at all that the arrest could lead to anything bad For Ton blockchain and assets built on it, like we witnessed during Terra fall.
Ton blockchain is an independent project, managed by its community, those who are dumping Ton coin and as well selling off assets running on network are just being sentimental, either they really do not understand the operandi of the Ton network and allowing sentiment to drive their decisions, or they do but just want to ride on the sentiment of other people.

As a matter of fact, I've been seizing this opportunity to buy more of my favorite assets on the Ton network, the weeping may last but for a night, joy surely will come in the morning.

Macron invited him? Is that true? Even if it is, Durov should have asked Macron to make such a request publicly so that later Macron couldn't deny it or claim he didn't say anything like that. I’m seeing news reports stating that Macron has refused to agree with these claims, asserting that he did not invite Durov and clarifying that it’s not a political move.

Where did you hear about this invitation? Even if Macron did invite him, it must have been done officially, with some proof to back it up. Now, Durov can’t do anything. He isn’t as smart as he thinks, he got caught in their trap and is being played just the way they want.

At that time I was indeed worried about the sustainability of several cryptocurrency coins that had a close relationship with Telegram, especially those based on the TON network. Moreover, at the time of the arrest, there was DOGS that had just finished its Airdrop event and was about to be listed. And it is true that this incident greatly affected the price of DOGS, everything did not go smoothly.
However, actually investing in Tokens - tokens on the TON network can still be said to be safe and potential. As long as we can choose the right coin.

there were several channel reported that Durov was actually schedule to have dinner with Macron. i'm not sure how accurate the information but there are different youtube channels saying this as well. but just one article i can find which the site may not be reliable. https://brusselssignal.eu/2024/08/telegram-boss-claimed-when-arrested-that-he-was-due-to-dine-with-macron/

coins using the TON chain are affected. even the strong tokens but they are already been in a downtrend for awhile.  this arrest is just a push downwards which you might just have to wait for something to happen before  trusting the chain again.
