🚨 Pavel Durov Exposes “Censorship Playbook”
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov claims EU agencies pressured the platform to censor political voices:
Spring 2025: France allegedly requested banning conservative Romanian channels → Durov refused
Sept 2024: Offered “good words to judge” if Telegram censored Moldovan channels → Durov refused
Second list: Mostly legitimate channels targeted for political views → Telegram refused
Durov calls it “leverage disguised as law”, highlighting tensions between regulation and free speech.

🚨🇪🇺 DUROV ACCUSES THE EU OF CENSORED DISGUISED AS LAW 🇪🇺🚨
Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram, has publicly denounced what he calls the "silent censorship strategy" of the European Union.
According to Durov, Brussels has built a regulatory system made up of deliberately impossible rules to comply with, in order to hit with sanctions or criminal investigations the platforms that refuse to censor content.
In a message shared on social channels, Durov cited the example of France, where an investigation "without real basis" was followed by an informal offer from the intelligence services to "help" Telegram comply with the rules, provided it censors conversations related to Romania and Moldova.
A tactic that, he argues, reflects a political use of the law to bend tech companies.
The mechanism, according to the CEO, is now clear: create unrealistic rules, initiate spurious investigations, then propose secret agreements to obtain censorship in exchange for leniency.
Those, like Telegram or X, who refuse risk billion-dollar fines or criminal charges.
Durov defines this approach as "not regulation, but extortion disguised as law enforcement."
A statement that reignites the debate on freedom of expression, digital sovereignty, and the power of governments in the era of major platforms.

Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov announced the launch of the decentralized network Cocoon—a confidential computing platform for artificial intelligence built on the blockchain The Open Network ($TON ). On November 30, 2025, the network officially went live, processing the first requests from users with 100% confidentiality. GPU owners are already earning TON tokens by providing computing power for AI tasks.

🚀 $TON IS LOADING SOMETHING BIG — DON’T BLINK NOW
Everyone is busy panicking about supply…
But the people who actually understand TON can see what’s really happening right now. 👇🔥
Yes, TON has a 5B total supply.
Yes, only ~2B are in circulation.
But here’s the part most traders are missing:
👉 TON has one of the slowest emissions among major L1s
👉 TON demand is SURGING thanks to Telegram’s 900M users
👉 Whales have been accumulating every dip
👉 Network activity is at ATH levels
This isn’t some dead chain — it’s literally built into the app millions of people open every single day.
TON has real users, real adoption, real network effect.
And that’s why TON held $4 for MONTHS.
That kind of strength doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens when smart money is quietly absorbing supply in the background.
Now the price is around $1.5…
And guess what?
The same people who FOMO’d at $4 are scared to buy now.
That’s exactly how tops and bottoms are formed.
TON doesn’t need a miracle to return to $4.
It needs exactly what it already has:
⭐ real users
⭐ real liquidity
⭐ real adoption through Telegram mini-apps
⭐ whales buying silently
The market doesn’t care about emotions.
But it DOES reward the ones who buy when everyone else hesitates.
If $TON catches even a SMALL push from Telegram again…
It will move FAST.
Very fast.
🚀 This setup screams early-entry opportunity.
Don’t wait for the breakout and then regret it.
Your future self will thank you. 💙🔥

🚀 NOT (Notcoin): The "Play-to-Earn" Revolution that Pays for Your Coffee (And Maybe an Island) 🚀
"How to turn button pressing into vacations in Bali? NOT is the answer – a social experiment that became a financial phenomenon, and now, not even Durov's arrest stops it."
🔗 Pavel Durov vs. Rules: A Story with a Happy Ending
When Pavel Durov was arrested in August 2024 in Paris, the crypto world trembled. But just 4 days later, released on a €6 million bail, Durov tweeted: "Freedom is not negotiable. Not even with France's gold." The irony? In the same week, Notcoin reached $0.014 – a 700% increase since launch – proving that the Telegram community is stronger than any regulator.

**Pavel Durov: The Bomb Thrower and Web3 Prophet. What’s the Current Situation?**
Hello, crypto community! 👋 Let's talk about a man who never goes out of style, even when he's silent — Pavel Durov. While some are waiting for his next statement as a revelation, others are following every move of his main brainchild, the TON blockchain platform.
Here's what makes Durov a key figure in the crypto world right now:
**1. TON is here to stay.**
After the high-profile story with Telegram Open Network (TON) and the dispute with the SEC, the project was reborn as The Open Network (TON) by the community. But Durov didn't leave completely. He and Telegram are providing immense support to the project by integrating wallets (@Wallet) and making TON the de facto "default blockchain" for their 900 million+ user base. This is not just an ICO project; it's an attempt to build a genuine decentralized ecosystem within the messenger.
**2. Rare but explosive statements.**
Durov doesn't blog every day. But when he does, it's always hardcore. In his posts, he:
* **Critiques the banking system harshly.** Remember his statement about how several American banks blocked Telegram's accounts without explaining the reasons? This only reinforced his belief in decentralized finance (DeFi) and cryptocurrencies as a tool for freedom.
* **Accuses Apple and Google** of monopolism and "predatory" commissions, contrasting them with the openness of Web3.
* **Predicts a mass migration of users to crypto ecosystems** once they become truly convenient. And he creates this convenience through integration with Telegram.
**3. Vision of the future: Telegram as a super Web3 app.**
Durov is not just promoting TON. He is building a global concept where Telegram becomes a hub for everything: communication, payments, decentralized applications (dApps), and NFTs. Recent launches of coins on the TON platform (such as Notcoin) have shown how powerful this traffic and engagement can be.
**What's next?**
The community is eagerly awaiting each step taken by Pavel. Will there be even deeper integration of TON in Telegram? Will there be native TON ads with payment in Toncoin? Or a loud statement about a new challenge to traditional financial systems?
One thing is for sure: as long as Pavel Durov is at the helm of Telegram and shows interest in TON, this blockchain will remain at the top of the agenda. He is not just a crypto enthusiast, but an architect who is trying to connect the mass user with the world of decentralized technologies.
What do you think? Is TON the future of Web3 within a messenger, or is it an overpriced project? Let us know your opinion in the comments! 👇

🔔Telegram founder reveals company structure and employee details
💬According to BlockBeats, on August 31, the Financial Times reported that Telegram founder Pavel Durov revealed that the company has approximately 50 employees, including 30 rigorously selected engineers. Team members are selected through programming contests, and most programmers come from Ukraine.
A tipster revealed that Telegram employees are typically “super-young” Eastern Europeans and earn an annual salary of $500,000. Earlier this year, Durov told the Financial Times that the company has a near-zero employee turnover rate. This is attributed to shared values and a strong belief in the company’s mission.
Durov himself is the main decision-maker, and despite having nearly a billion users, the company’s pace of innovation resembles that of a startup. He prefers to see himself as a product leader rather than a co-director or boss, and emphasizes that no new feature is released without his deep involvement.

🔥 Drama between #Telegram and #ElonMusk : Did $TON spike and then cool down?
Last night, the cryptocurrency community was buzzing when #PavelDurov – the founder of Telegram – announced on X that Telegram has reached a 1-year partnership agreement with Elon Musk to integrate #AIGrok from xAI into all Telegram applications. The deal was described as extremely attractive: $300 million in cash + equity, along with 50% of the revenue from Grok subscriptions via Telegram.
This information excited the TON investment community (the token of the TON network – a blockchain deeply integrated with Telegram), and the price of TON immediately surged in the evening session on May 28.
🧨 But just a few hours later, Elon Musk unexpectedly responded coldly:
"No deal has been signed."
=> Rough translation: "No agreement has been signed yet."
⛔️ Musk's “U-turn” left the market confused, and the price of TON immediately stagnated after the strong surge.
📌 Summary of the event:
Durov announced the Grok integration deal into Telegram.
The price of TON reacted positively, soaring.
Musk denied it, causing psychological pressure on investors.
📈 Is this just a misunderstanding? Or did Telegram “announce a bit too early”? While it's still unclear who is right or wrong, TON investors need to be cautious of upcoming fluctuations. However, it cannot be denied that the connection between Telegram and the TON ecosystem remains a potential long-term foundation.
🧠 Investment perspective:
TON is still a noteworthy token thanks to the backing of Telegram. If the Grok deal actually takes place later, it will be a very strong “launchpad.” But in the short term, keep a close eye on developments from both sides: Durov and Musk.
