The accusations against Durov concern his possible role in incitement, recruitment, and other forms of involvement of individuals in terrorist activities.
According to information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB, among all crimes related to the use of Telegram, a significant number are linked to terrorist acts, such as the attack at "Crocus City Hall" and the deaths of Darya Dugina, Vladlen Tatarsky, and Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.
Internet users are questioning why similar accusations are not directed at mobile operators or the social network VK, which have also been used by terrorists and fraudsters. Some sarcastically suggest that even knife and weapon manufacturers could come under fire.
When an investigation against Durov began in France for similar reasons, propaganda sources claimed that there is a suppression of internet freedom occurring in Europe.
