Elon Musk says "It's 2030, in Europe, you will be executed for liking a meme," Musk remarked, pointing to the increasing restrictions on digital expression in Western countries.
Pro-Russian Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Green says "Freedom of speech is under attack all over the world," she stated, stressing the broader implications of Durov's detention.
Former Fox News Host Tucker Carlson says "It wasn't Putin who arrested him for giving the public freedom of speech. It was a Western country, an ally of the Biden administration and an active member of NATO, that locked him up.
This is a living warning to any platform owner who refuses to censor the truth at the behest of governments and intelligence agencies."
American Politician Robert Kennedy Jr. Said "The need to protect freedom of speech has never been more urgent," Kennedy Jr. asserted, underscoring the importance of safeguarding individual rights in the digital age.
The case against Durov, which French authorities have linked to his refusal to censor content on Telegram, is expected to be reviewed today.
A French investigator emphasized, "No more impunity for Telegram," suggesting that the outcome could have significant implications for other tech platforms.
This incident has sparked widespread debate over the balance between government regulations and the protection of free speech in democratic societies.
