Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram.
This was surprising for several reasons:
1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Tele

TON Community Stands Strong Despite Telegram CEO's Arrest !

$TON TON is a DECENTRALIZED Network that does not belong to any one person or company. Pavel Durov has no control over the project. TON development is carried out by a community of developers who work to improve the network.
$BTC $TON Panic-mongers and speculators should know that Pavel Durov officially announced the closure of the TON project back in May 2020. After that, TON was transferred to the developer community.

$TON My point of view is that panic sell is not started yet, the arrest is just the beginning of lots of uncertainty, but still I think it is not a one candle dump.
What is going to happen in court? What if Durove situation was not good? What if he was forced to do concessions? What if Telegram and Ton principles had to change to comply with regulations? What if he had to pay tons of money?
The situation is not clear so don’t rush buying without doing your own investment.
TON released a statement saying they’re still “strong and fully operational.” They made it clear that they’re all about “freedom of speech and decentralization,” and they’re not planning on slowing down just because Pavel’s in custody. They added that:
“The $TON community remains focused on our mission, and we will continue our work to uphold these principles globally. We encourage everyone to stay calm, united, and to keep building as we navigate this situation together. Thank you for your continued support.”
$TON Pavel Durov will be released, TON will grow to even higher values, and you will continue to sell it so that I have the opportunity to buy $TON cheaper 😋
$TON "Many have already gotten scared, especially inexperienced players who linked the TON rate not to the strength of supply and demand on the market, but to whether Pavel Durov will sit down or not. I advise these people to urgently take some basic training. Look, firstly, TON and NOT fell by only 15%. This is not much for crypto assets! Why associate this with Pavel at all? Secondly, the price of the asset depends on supply and demand. Those who got scared and started selling (that is, "weak hands"), so they only lost 15%. Now they are slowly buying it back, and I advise you to do this."

$TON Is it worth buying $TON right now, or is there a chance of an even bigger fall in the coming hours? And what if this is the starting point of growth? 🗿
