Telegram CEO Pavel Durov warns of ‘dark dystopian future’ for internet, says ‘running out of time to…’

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov warned about the internet turning from a ‘free exchange of information’ into an ‘ultimate tool of control’. The billionaire, who has had his run-in with French agencies for alleged violations on Telegram, said that time is running out to save the free Internet.

​Durov turned 41 on Friday and used the occasion to highlight his concerns about the future of the internet. In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Durov cited the ‘dystopian’ measures taken by many countries like the UK, Australia, Germany, and the EU.
