Following Telegram founder Pavel Durov’s arrest, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted the hashtag #FreePavel on his social media platform X. The hashtags #FreePavel and #FreeDurov emerged as supporters protested Durov’s arrest and called for his release. Durov is known for his strong stance on privacy and free speech, often clashing with government authorities over his commitment to protecting user data and resisting surveillance. Durov’s arrest, allegedly for allowing his platforms to be used for anti-government activities, has been widely condemned by digital rights advocates worldwide. Many see this as part of a broader effort to suppress dissent and control the flow of information online.
