Justin Sun's Proposal
Justin Sun took to Twitter to propose the creation of FreePavel DAO. He stated that he would allocate $1 million of his own funds if the community supports the idea and it is implemented in a decentralized manner. Sun tagged Elon Musk and Mario Nawfal, inviting them to join the initiative.
Telegram's Response
Telegram released a statement on their news channel, expressing support for their CEO and calling for a quick resolution. The statement noted that the company complies with EU laws, including the Digital Services Act, and their moderation meets industry standards.
Detainment Details
Pavel Durov was detained on August 24 at an airport outside Paris. Early reports indicated that he was arrested on charges related to content moderation on Telegram, but there is still no clear confirmation of the charges. Durov's detainment has caused some market turmoil, with the price of TON dropping by over 12%. Meanwhile, support for Pavel within the crypto and Telegram communities is growing, with the hashtag #FreePavel gaining traction on social media. Official information from Paris is expected to arrive tomorrow.
The situation surrounding Pavel Durov's detainment remains unclear. The community is awaiting official word from French authorities, while support for Pavel continues to grow. Justin Sun and other influential figures hope that joint efforts will help resolve the conflict.
