During the investigation, which involves Durov's actions, there are mentions of recruitment and involvement of individuals in terrorist acts, as well as financing of terrorist groups.
According to information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB, since 2022, the number of crimes related to Telegram has exceeded 153,000, among which 33,000 are acts of sabotage-terrorism and extremism. Among the mentioned incidents are the terrorist attack at the event in "Crocus City Hall," as well as the murders of Darya Dugina, Vladlen Tatarsky, and Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.
In social media, questions arise as to why such accusations do not concern mobile operators or the VK platform, which have been used by terrorists, fraudsters, and distributors of anti-state content for many years. Users joke that the next targets could be knife and weapon manufacturers.
When an investigation against Durov began in France for similar reasons, propagandists claimed that this deprives users in Europe of access to a free internet.
