Telegram Founder and CEO arrested

[ExperimentalSEO]

You should probably switch the circles you hang around.

There's already high taxes + high energy prices combined with the EU-wide VAT law, GDPR, Article 13 and the DSA. This arrest appears to be the final straw for many.

Poor Finland only on third place and US that barely beats Sweden in the latest report, and all those other European countries high up, why, why when you can start a company in Botswana with no taxes in a hut.

Saying Europe is a bad place for Entrepreneurship is nothing else than greedy bullshit, you need to see the whole picture of successful Entrepreneurship.

Yep.

People forget that the high taxes actually contribute to the society.

Government funded benefits and grants for startups and so on.

I have personally witnessed a god damn carrot and beetroot jam company get like 25k€ of free money from different programs (funded by taxes) so they can grow their company.

Even I could apply for a startup grant that every citizen is entitled to, to get like 800€ a month. Completely free. It’s capped to 12 months, but still.

That's probably true, but you never know.

One thing Elon has got going for him is leverage and much more powerful allies.

And space lasers!

Anyone investigate Teleguard?

In Germany it's currently easy to get 100k-1M€ funding for developing a video game, but judging by the results it's getting somewhat abused. The games are so bad and the companies who make them go bankrupt fast
So far it has gotten no good results afaik.

well, this means they want to get access to info only he can provide, don't call me crazy don't do it, he will be free soon but they are keeping this one quiet, because I had not see anything of this on social media, at least me.

 

[AlwaysAlan]

Bet he was scamming on Telegram.

 

[The_Raven]

He stepped on a red button,maybe his green buttons were not available at the moment.

In the tech startup circles I follow, the general consensus is that not only is France too risky to start at tech company in but the entirety of the European Union.

The EU's motto is...
"If you can't innovate, legislate!"

Well, that escalated fast:

What does Durov have that the Macron Gov't doesn't want released?

Crazy.

Let's see if the French do what they do best. Riot.

It is not wise for entrepreneurs with a Russian background to move around European cities. Many parties are almost immediately raping the person if they see a Russian. And by this rape I mean in a political sense.
In my country, Russians' properties will probably be expropriated in the future.

At the moment, a regulation is being drawn up that no property and houses will be sold to Russians.

But respect to Pavel Durov! Thank for the great app.

The russians are known for their hackers and their corruption. I would only suspect his arrest is not coincidental

 

[hexagonal]

They extended the arrest for 48 hours.

Crazy how they are banning free speech

It's not as straight forward in this case as you make it to be.

I'm not sure of all the intricate details but I'm curious... If they applied the same standards to the government leadership, would the current status be the same?

Honestly, EU is so restrictive it isn't funny.

Yeah, but seriously... I see some people don't want to have anything to do with EU (and US as well) and do only Asia & Latin America. Nothing to make fun of guys.
