Join the #DigitalResistance and Fight for Your Freedoms
Our most fundamental rights — freedom of speech and digital privacy — are under attack like never before. Governments and political correctness worldwide are tightening their grip, threatening to silence voices and monitor our every move online. The arrest of Pavel Durov in France isn’t the first time Durov has had to fight for our rights. Durov didn’t back down last time. Instead, he launched the #DigitalResistance — a movement to fight censorship and defend digital privacy.
The symbol of this movement? A dog in a hood. The Resistance Dog. In 2011, Pavel Durov was ordered to eradicate the posts of liberal thinkers and dissidents. In response, Pavel posted a picture of his dog, refusing to silence anyone on his platform. Since then, this dog has become the mascot of free speech. It has become an emblem of hope, incredible strength, and courage.
This isn’t just about one man; it’s about defending the rights of every individual. The #DigitalResistance is a movement for all of us who believe that privacy is a right, not a privilege, and that free speech is the foundation of a free society. By uniting under this banner, we are sending a clear message: we will not be silenced or surrender our digital freedoms.

Also in the latest update is the ability for users to create a unique @username from the Settings page, providing others with an easy way to contact them via Search or their t.me/username link without sharing their phone number. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read." Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. Additionally, investors are often instructed to deposit monies into personal bank accounts of individuals who claim to represent a legitimate entity, and/or into an unrelated corporate account. To lend credence and to lure unsuspecting victims, perpetrators usually claim that their entity and/or the investment schemes are approved by financial authorities.
