Moscow slaps Telegram founder on wanted list, Durov responds with one-finger salute

Russia has charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with facilitating terrorism, alleging the platform was used by Ukrainian intelligence to coordinate sabotage and terror acts. An international arrest warrant was issued for the Dubai-based billionaire, who is now on Russia's most-wanted list. Following the announcement, Telegram posted an image of Durov gesturing with his middle finger. Durov has previously accused Russian authorities of fabricating pretexts to restrict access to the platform within Russia.
