#Russia charges #Telegram founder #PavelDurov with aiding #terrorism & puts him on international wanted list
The charges against Durov, who was born & began his career in Russia but later moved abroad, came as Russian authorities restrict Telegram, one of the most popular messaging apps in the country. It is part of a long-term effort to bring the #internet under the Kremlin’s full control that has intensified since Moscow launched its invasion of #Ukraine.
