🎙 A week ago, Tucker Carlson published an interview with me about what happened in France. It was covered by media in many countries — except, interestingly, in France. 🤐 piped.video/watch?v=bxFQvOyT…

📰 The French media hasn’t lost interest in Telegram. Last week, Le Monde, the country’s main newspaper, invited its readers to report whether they watch pirated football matches on Telegram. This attempt to crowdsource a negative story about us is a part of a broader strategy.

In just the 7 weeks following my arrest in Paris, Le Monde published 40 negative articles about Telegram. In violation of journalistic ethics, they did not ask us for a comment in 37 of these 40 articles and always ignored the factual corrections we sent them. 🤦‍♂️

📣 Such a media environment is alarming. This is why platforms like Telegram are so important — we enable people to access all points of view and decide for themselves. We believe people are smart and can be trusted with the unfiltered truth. ✊

Hello Mr. Durov, In your last message, you mentioned that the French media did not report on your arrest by the French authorities. We are an independent media outlet, critical of the authoritarian drift of our government, and we have covered this issue - notably through the video below: piped.video/JW3gUy5SzjQ You are welcome at Tocsin anytime!

Whether you agree with Durov or not, suppressing the interview in France and refusing comment opportunities is a red flag for press freedom. 💪

Dear Pavel, As you know, we would have been delighted to do an interview. We expressed our interest at our last off-the-record meeting a few weeks ago in Paris. Too bad It did not happen.

⚡ No errors detected • Audit Score: 95/100 👁 Someone used @yesnoerror to fact-check this post for errors with $YNE's AI agent. --- ✅ VERIFIED FACTS: • Tucker Carlson published an interview with Pavel Durov about events in France around June 2025. • The interview was covered by media in many countries. • There is no confirmed evidence that French media covered the interview. 📝 AUDIT SUMMARY Pavel Durov tweeted that Tucker Carlson published an interview with him discussing his legal troubles and events in France. While the interview received broad international media coverage, it appears it was not covered by French media, as Durov notes. The interview touched on serious allegations against Durov, which he denies, and highlighted his criticisms of French authorities and concerns about privacy and free speech. $YNE

Le Monde belongs to Xavier Niel. His 20ish son is in the board of the Foundation he created to control it. He has lunch every other Wednesday with the CEO, Louis Dreyfus. Haven't understood yet what was going on ? aurores.org/crepuscule

@DictatorCrypt creates leaders whose intentions are moral, leaders called to serve the common good and prioritize the collective welfare above all, leaders who serve as a moral example for the current era and future generations. "Morality above all." #DictatorCrypto #TON

Le Monde, propriété de Xavier Niel, milliardaire ayant bâti sa fortune grâce au Minitel rose, est étroitement lié à Mimi Marchand, elle-même proche des Macron.

You were extremely diplomatic in your assessment of our « so called french state of law ». One would have expect way more bitterness given the rude and unwarranted treatment they applied to your case. Tucker was way more 😂 direct. It was fun and very interesting to watch. Our media are state media. All of them but @IdLibertes of @Emmanuelle_IDL and a few others.

Pas surpris. Les mainstreams en France ne font plus d'information, mais de la diffusion de narratif lequel inclus: "Accuser les autres de faire de la désinformation". Il n'y a vraiment plus rien d'honnête à en attendre. Plus Rien.
