Especially since, according to Pavel himself in his interview by Tucker Carlson, U.S. authorities had already failed in an attempt to bribe one of his engineers into providing backdoor access to client apps by making use of an open source code library.
Of course this arrest is about the Five Eyes and their EuroSoviet pals breaking Telegram's strong encryption, just by another means. If the "purchase key attack" doesn't work, then one turns to "rubber hose cryptanalysis."
Excellent article - I am a German living part time in France - France with WEF first class "young global leader" Emanuel Macron, has become a perverted DICTATORSHIP - with the "Yellow Wests" beaten to death for their absolute peaceful PROTEST. France with Macron is regularly subverting the Votes of "We The People" for Marine le Pen and an end to the US-war in Ukraine, as he turns the votes regularly into the OPPOSITE outcome of the will of "We The People".
Anyone showing integrity will be given the Assange treatment. That appears to be the loud and clear message from the power mongering WEF. They will crush anyone who dares to raise his head and stand up for morality.
“Probably never in the history of mankind has a parcel of incompetent nincompoops possessed so much power and ambition.” This is a correct assessment of the Obama-Harris-Biden administration. (I purposely used the word “administration” in the singular form since Obaminable never left the WH). The risks of an Obama-Harris-Walz administration is even greater.
Although I'm not a French lawyer and just a long-retired FBI legal counsel, I have a good guess as to your: "QUESTION for any French lawyer who happens to read this post: What exactly does the phrase “judicial request”—in French demande judiciaire—mean, and how does this general concept differ from the more precise “wiretap warrant” —mandat d'écoute électronique?" My guess as to the difference is that a "judicial request" may be for a simple identification of a Telegram user whereas the "mandat d"ecoute electronique" would be to allow law enforcement to actively monitor communications, the substance of communications between specific Telegram users in real time.
I'd say the best way to read into this and all things released on MSM is that it's entirely fake. Then work backwards. Starting with that photo. It's clearly a paste up and possibly not even his body. And have you EVER met a really intensely dedicated IT nerd that looked like that? I grew up in and around that field and the answer is most definitely no. Not saying there isn't an outlier, but it's certainly a red flag. Second, there is absolutely no way an army is using 3rd party software to coordinate. That's like trying to believe US operations are using TikTok to operate bombing runs. lol. Supposedly, Durov and Putin were not good friends, so the analogy is appropriate.
All i'm saying is that most of this stuff is diversion, distraction, or demoralization.
I accidently hit the like button instead of reply. Just because this man is in superior shape does not mean he doesn't have a finely tuned mind as well. There was a time when most people were in a physical condition that is no longer all that common. Plato was well known as an athlete. Are you saying he couldn't have been intelligent because of that?
Welp, if RFKJr can look as ripped as he does, I'm thinking so can Durov. Neither meet average expectations for a 70-year-old in RFK's case, or an IT nerd, in Durov's.
Could be however I worked for a highly successful billionaire Mutual Fund Company President and CEO who had a home gym and worked out regularly and he had a body like Pavels. CEO's have more time flexibility to pursue working out.
You wrote "Probably never in the history of mankind has a parcel of incompetent nincompoops possessed so much power and ambition." I fully agree with you and would only have inserted deluded before ambition. The end of century feeling is suffocating.
There are two channels called Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH on Telegram and both are free to join. If the powers that be want to monitor those channels for misinformation then some agency employee joins anonymously and does the job. No back channel is required.
If Russian military use Telegram for secure communications, this can be breached by compromising the smartphones at one or both hands. Software is readily available to do this.
Telegram allows for one-to-one encrypted "secret" chats betwee two individuals. These are stored only on user devices, not the server. In fact, a secret chat conducted e.g. via my phone would not be accessible on my desktop or ipad. I would imagine this is what the Russian military could be using to coordinate. The vulnerability is backdoors on the device operating system, but perhaps it is too much of a nuisance for TMFTB to use them.
Interesting stuff in the news section of their website. They are probably not selling their tools to the Russians, since they are doing business with the US.
"It's also the primary vehicle for pro-war military bloggers and media — as well as millions of ordinary Russians."
Notice that, remarkably, as Dr. Peter McCullough pointed out last week, no Western journalists are over there broadcasting daily from the front. The potential flash point for world war 3 is receiving the same level of coverage as a midnight little league telethon on public access channel 895.
Merely arresting him throws Russia off balance. Russia must be thinking, 'is he cooperating? Do we need a different communications platform? What sensitive information exists on Telegram that might be compromised?'
I don't agree with the tactics that the French (and US) are engaged in. Is the West better than Russia and China? It would be if we could legitimately say we don't do things like this.
I thought Telegram was not a classic 'social media' company. It's a private network messaging system where the user determines to whom the messages are sent. Like Signal or What's App. The problem is the French/US want access to spy on anyone they deem a person of interest.
I remember the mass shooting in California by the Islamic couple. The FBI wanted Apple to break into the recovered iPhones and Apple refused. The FBI later disclosed they were able to hack the phones.
Apple may or may not have helped the FBI, we will never know. However, the point is Apple protected the privacy of its users and that was ok by the FBI.
Now, the French are losing in Niger and the Ukrainians are failing against Russia and for some reason everyone outside of Telegram can't break the code. There are a lot of hackers in the world, I am surprised France hasn't found one smart enough to crack Telegram.
“The timing of Pavel Durov’s arrest raises the suspicion it is a gambit to persuade him to grant French (and U.S.) authorities access to Telegram…”
I would say it’s way more than a suspicion it’s a certainty!
Especially since, according to Pavel himself in his interview by Tucker Carlson, U.S. authorities had already failed in an attempt to bribe one of his engineers into providing backdoor access to client apps by making use of an open source code library.

Not a typical soda swigging aderral popping software engineer working for Google or Apple.
Psst, Mr. Leake ... it's Adderall.

NSO Group sells such technology to governments

Would the French authorities arrest the boss of Citroën if one of their customers had such material in their car? I think not.
France, most of Europe, Australia, and the UK do as they are told by the United States, which the Deep State controls.
Ah, here it is:

WEF—push back mis, mal, disinfo. They dont want competition.

Good points.
Idk. Everything is hackable.
I think this is more about the internet censorship that they are obsessed about.
The American election is coming up and it sounds like they have a plan but it doesn’t work unless they can censor the internet.
They can run any scam with censorship.
