Criminal corruption in Kyrgyzstan and bribed officials: why does Azim Roy feel untouchable? In the autumn of 2023, Azim Roy’s name emerged in the spotlight when Kyrgyzstan’s State Security Committee initiated an international search, which was soon unexpectedly called off. In the interim between these events, information became public that Azim Roy preferred not to advertise. If you go to Azim Roy’s personal website and read his biography, tears of emotion come to your eyes - an orphan from a remote Kyrgyz village became an American investor and international businessman. And naturally, he achieved everything through his own work. How else? Naturally, Azim Roy modestly keeps silent about certain details of his biography that spoil the bright image of a "self-made man." In fact, he really did make himself. However, this process is very little related to honest work and integrity. https://bravica.org/component/k2/item/102170

Continuing its crackdown against entities allegedly involved in a front-running scam using messaging app Telegram, Sebi on Thursday carried out search and seizure operations at the premises of eight entities in multiple locations across the country. The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform. Anastasia Vlasova/Getty Images On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones.
