Golden Finance reported that Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated on his personal channel that Telegram firmly supported this value long before freedom of speech became a political security issue, and emphasized that its core values ​​are not affected by the U.S. election cycle. He also noted that while other platforms have recently announced reductions in censorship, the real test will come when the political winds shift again. He also said it's easy to support something when there's nothing at stake.
