Russian businesses erase Durov-linked products after 'terrorist' designation
High
Summary
Following Russia's designation of Telegram founder Pavel Durov as a terrorist and extremist, numerous Russian businesses are removing products associated with him, including books, films, and merchandise. Despite these efforts, Telegram itself remains accessible in Russia, and the restrictions primarily target Durov as an individual rather than the platform itself. The Kremlin's actions are occurring amidst mounting international pressure, including investigations into Telegram's role in facilitating child sexual abuse material in both Russia and Europe.
