Founder of Telegram: Telegram would rather exit the market than set up backdoors to disrupt encryption technology

According to Foresight News, Telegram founder Pavel Durov posted on his personal channel, "Last month, encryption was almost banned in France. The Senate passed a law requiring information applications to set up backdoors for the police to obtain private information. Fortunately, it was rejected by the National Assembly. However, three days ago, the Paris police chief once again made this request. As I mentioned before, Telegram would rather exit the market than use backdoors to disrupt encryption technology and violate basic human rights. Unlike some of our competitors, we do not trade privacy for market share. We must constantly explain to legislators that encryption technology is not meant to protect criminals, but to protect the privacy and security of ordinary people. Losing this protection would be tragic. The battle is far from over. This month, the European Commission proposed a similar initiative to add backdoors to information applications. No country is immune to the slow erosion of freedom. Every day, these freedoms are under attack, and every day, we must defend them
