Odaily News "They (French authorities) are going to charge (Telegram founder Pavel Durov) with terrorism because he refused to censor certain groups... Telegram is one of the few channels that actually allows information critical of Western policies to continue to spread. I think that's the root of the problem," said Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst. Johnson considers the charges against Durov a "fabricated political case," suggesting they are designed to intimidate the tech entrepreneur. Johnson added: "There was a time when he was considered close to (French President Emmanuel) Macron, but it seems clear that relationship no longer exists because this arrest would not have happened without Macron's knowledge and approval."
