 The founder of Telegram has been kidnapped.

Why don't they (the EU States) in this case, arrest the CEO of Apple and Samsung or Google, for people using browsers and phones in the commission of crimes? Or ISPs or anyone else transmitting data? No one can answer this, because Ambulance Chasers are Computer Illiterates.

This question touches Bitcoin of course, and will have profound effects if the people who make these bad decisions are not re-educated and their ignorance neutralized.

The CEOs of Bitcoin companies must assert the truth of how things work at all times to defend not only their businesses but their hundreds of millions of users.

 Because he's not on their team 
 Pavel is a WEF "Global Young Leader".

Like Elon he plays on one side. 
 The reason they are targeting Telegram is because it allows “misinformation.” Google, Apple and Facebook censor “misinformation.” X is being heavily pressured to comply with the new DSA rule in the EU. They just haven’t been able to do anything about it yet. 
 We need open protocols and pseudonymous open sourced developers. Not CEOs 
 Wow I’m never saying “arrested” again. “Kidnapped” is much more accurate 
 You’re right. Words matter. If English is not used correctly, it is not possible to convey meaning accurately. Or understand the true nature of an event or problem. The unethical nature of what has happened is not conveyed by “arrest” which implies a proper legal process where a criminal was interdicted. 

Pavel was kidnapped. He did not know there was a kidnap order placed on his head. It was an Organized Crime style hit. PERIOD.
