Description:

#telegram #interview #internet Pavel Durov commented on the investigation by Important Stories about Telegram, in which we found out that the same people and companies that service and supply materials for the secret FSB complexes used to spy on citizens are responsible for the network infrastructure of this messenger. ▶️ Watch the investigation on how Telegram is connected to the FSB: The main character of our investigation is Vladimir Vedeneyev, a man who held the position of financial director in the messenger, had the right to sign documents on behalf of Pavel Durov and at the same time remained in the shadows all the time. After the publication of the investigation, Vedeneyev sent a letter to various media outlets and gave several interviews in which he accused Important Stories of deliberately distorting the facts. In connection with this, we decided to publish fragments of Vedeneyev’s conversation with the publisher of Important Stories, Roman Anin, where they discussed the key issues of the investigation, so that you could evaluate the arguments of both sides for yourself. 🟢 Support Important Stories: ▶️ 🟢 Become a sponsor on Youtube: ▶️ 🔵 Read the full investigation on our website: ▶️ 🔵 Investigation in English: ▶️ 🔵 Timecodes: 00:00 Why we decided to publish this conversation 01:41 About relations with Durov 08:57 On access to traffic and surveillance 13:13 On cooperation with the FSB 22:56 Contradictions and recognition
