Telegram Founder Raises Alarm About Growing Internet Control Measures

Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, celebrated his 41st birthday by raising concerns about the increasing control of governments over the internet. He highlighted specific techniques like digital identities, age verification for minors online, and the ability to scan private messages as tools used by nations including the UK, Australia, the EU, Germany, and France to regulate the web. Durov warned that this generation may be the last to experience true internet freedom, urging individuals to resist these measures in order to protect their privacy, free speech, and market freedoms.
