Podcast guest, the persona of Pavel Durov, says multiple past instances, Government officials requested his help, to take down certain Telegram Messaging App chat channels, becuase they said they were negatively affecting elections in x country etc.

@ the (1h.25m. mark) of the podcast episode.

"#482 - Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature" | Lex Fridman Podcast | 2025-Sep-30  |  https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Ie7yPteQlOscjbNFbjzFR

Note: wow. so but if I understand so far persona Durov is saying he says no, I will not help you take down xyz Telegram channel, understood (because free speech).

So but note: This is amazing. It is a tech CEO who, they are implying if not saying on this podcast episode, various politicians realize, may be a single weak link where they can apply pressure to help them win an election. And so, implying if not saying, the story as a whole makes it crystal clear, that various world politicians/officials/governments, are applying real pressure to persona Durov, to attempt to sway an election.

They are saying on the podcast including some politics going on in France, Muldova(Moldova), Romania, etc.

Amazing.

Human nature, and human power/money/access/status is so strong and looks for ways to get what it wants and that includes trying to ransom anyone they think statistically speaking may help them get closer to their goal of human power/money/access/status.

In conclusion, if you like the type of stuff mentioned here above, then recommended you to listen to this podcast episode. Peace out.
