❗️Pavel Durov’s arrest triggers $17 billion UAE arms deal freeze — Kim Dotcom
German businessman Kim Schmitz claims that the United Arab Emirates froze a $17 billion deal to purchase 80 Rafale fighter jets from France due to the Telegram founder’s arrest.
Schmitz, a vocal advocate for Durov's release, believes the UAE's outrage over the detention of the Telegram founder - who holds Emirati citizenship - has led to the deal's suspension.

Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram, was arrested today in France, there are different charges against him.
While it would be interesting to discuss the investigation itself, putting the censorship arguments aside, I just would like to highlight how Telegram represented over the last years a national security concern for the French.
Russian mercenaries, obviously, use different platforms, but Telegram played for them an important role in accelerating the deterioration of France's military posture, especially in Africa.
I think it's important to take it into consideration when wondering why the French would get involved.
A few things to keep in mind:
- The biggest Wagner channels are on Telegram
- In general, the best way to assess if a disinformation campaign is taking place, is to check if multiple channels that are pro-Wagner or so have relayed it
- Many people use Telegram as their source of information
There were several reports that show how Telegram was spreading anti-French sentiment and fake information about French military involvement in places such as Mali that would find its way to propagate in mainstream social media platforms like Facebook.
Wagner channels, in fact, launched campaigns not only against the French but also against UN missions.
But, of course, disinformation campaigns against the French were not only taking place in the digital world, they also took forms of organized protests.
One of the most notable ones was in Niger, where right after a successful Wagner-backed coup d'état, thousands of protesters gathered outside a French military base in Niamey demanding that French troops leave, despite the fact that their missions revolved around counterterrorism against the rising Islamist insurgents in the Sahel. The French ended up leaving and putting an end to their military cooperation with Niger.
The case of Niger is especially important since it put also the EU in a tough spot given that it allocated around $554 million to Niger the last few years.
When the Wagner mercenaries arrived in Africa, the French were simply not prepared for what was coming. Waves of disinformation campaigns from Telegram took place that not only revived revanchist attitudes towards France as a former colonial power in the Continent, but that also ultimately led to immense military loses as they had to leave several of their military bases and severe ties with countries that are now backed by Wagner.
Telegram became for the French since then a factor among many that explains their inability to counter information warfare operations.

🇬🇧🚓 Yikes. Rapes are up around 600% in Britain in the past 20 years and over 400% in the last 10 years. Very strange to me that this isn’t considered a major crisis by the authorities.
63% increase in rapes in the UK over a five year period. That’s pretty grim. Looks like Britain is becoming a pretty unsafe place. Now the rape capital of Europe by a sizeable margin.

Telegram: Tech entrepreneur Kim Dotcom slams French president for targeting the ‘major source of truth about what’s really going on in Ukraine’
The German-born founder of Megaupload criticized Emmanuel Macron’s claim online that “France is deeply committed to freedom of expression and communication,” after the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov on Saturday.
“You are a puppet committing treason against your own people and the people of the European Union,” he said on X.
“Only the unhinged Biden DOJ would come up with such dirty lawfare against a well respected tech innovator and entrepreneur. You are just following orders.”
No notes.

They know quite well that after 70 years of complete leftist hegemony, the ideological pendulum is swinging the other way, so they are just trying to co-opt the new right-wing movement.

I don't know if Zuckerberg started taking testosterone or not but he's clearly changed his look in recent years and is trying to appeal more to the right.
Unless he actually backs off on censorship and scraps his "Dangerous Organizations and Individuals" list everything he says should be considered empty rhetoric.
