Sun made a public announcement about his idea to establish a decentralized fund in “FreePavel DAO,” supporting Durov. Here he vowed his personal $1M and specified that such a transaction would be executed in a decentralized way, upon the approval of the community.
Sun even proceeded to call upon others, such as Elon Musk and Mario Nawfal, to lend a hand in the initiative and gain more support for the cause.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov has reportedly been detained at a Paris-area airport on 24 August. Preliminary reports said he had been detained over issues relating to content moderation by Telegram.
Telegram reacted to the news in an official statement through its News channel, publicizing what had been done by Durov and calling for the situation to be immediately remedied. The company justified that it worked according to European legislation and all accusations insinuating something wrong has been done by either Durov or Telegram are denied.
A lot of noise is going on now online under the hashtag #FreePavel after the event with the activist community seems to be rallying behind Durov. The crypto and Telegram communities joined him, criticizing the French government for its intentions.
No official statement has come from the French authorities so far, which makes Durov’s ambiguous legal status unsure and uncertain. An update from Paris is expected momentarily.
