Prior to his arrest over the weekend, the founder of Telegram disclosed that he has over 100 biological children spread over the globe.
The creator of the well-known messaging app, Pavel Durov, was placed under arrest in France as a part of a continuing legal probe.
Due to his extensive work in the social media industry, Durov—who has been living in exile in Russia since 2014—has sometimes been compared to be the Russian equivalent of Mark Zuckerberg.
In addition to frequently traveling throughout Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, Durov has been running Telegram out of Dubai for the past few years.
But the 39-year-old was taken into custody on Saturday on suspicion of not moderating enough on Telegram.
Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, declared on Monday that the arrest was “in no way a political decision.”
“The arrest of the Telegram president on French territory took place as part of an ongoing judicial investigation,” Macron posted via Twitter.
“This is not a political choice in the slightest. The judges will make the final decision.”
Since then, French authorities have made the case public, claiming that the investigation and the arrest that followed were connected to a probe into purported financial and cybercrimes on Telegram.
“It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform,” the Telegram app stated in a message sent after the arrest. “We’re awaiting a prompt resolution of this situation.”
Durov claimed to have over 100 children in a post on Telegram last month, making quite the statement.
He posted: “I was just told that I have over 100 biological kids.”My friend came to me fifteen years ago with an unusual request. He explained that he and his spouse were unable to conceive and wanted me to provide sperm to a clinic so they might become parents.”
Tech mogul went on: “The clinic’s manager informed me that there was a shortage of “high quality donor material” and that it was my civic responsibility to contribute more sperm in order to aid more couples in secret. In 2024, my previous charitable endeavors have aided more than a hundred couples across twelve nations in becoming parents.”Furthermore, at least one IVF facility still keeps my frozen sperm available for people looking to conceive surreptitiously, even though I ceased being a donor many years ago.”
The computer expert continued by saying that he intends to make his DNA “open-source” in order to facilitate easier communication between his biological offspring.
With an estimated billion users, Telegram is an encrypted chat and social media app. The app has a reputation for being especially well-liked in regions of the world with higher levels of censorship or surveillance.
Fans spot worrying detail in new photo of Martha Stewart, 82 – and everyone’s saying the same thing
She has received backlash, meanwhile, for a recent social media post that many have referred to as “tone-deaf” that she made while in Greenland.
When the 82-year-old posed for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in May of this year, she garnered a lot of good attention; but, the same kind of excitement wasn’t sparked by her most recent Instagram post.
On Tuesday, August 29, Stewart shared a photo of herself during a voyage that included a view of Greenland’s east coast. The TV personality and businesswoman is shown in one of several photos, one of which has the caption:
As we approach a magnificent fjord on the east coast of Greenland, Swan Hellenic Cruises’ inaugural Zodiac cruise draws to a close. Indeed, for our cocktails this evening, we were able to grab a tiny bit of iceberg.
Fans were instantly incensed at Stewart for using the “small iceberg” as a symbol for her drink, even though it was most likely not her intention for the post to offend.
Stewart’s mention of a little iceberg in relation to the “ice caps melting” in her comments section quickly drew criticism from many.
The ice caps are melting, Martha, according to one Instagram user. Keep them out of your drink.
“In general, I adore Martha and her excesses because she’s all about gorgeous houses, gardens, and food, but drinking iceberg cocktails while the world burns seems a little tone deaf,” another person commented.
So while the planet heats due to the wealth of a few thousand individuals, millionaires travel to the melting icebergs, scoop them up, and use them to keep their cocktails cold. That line seems like it belongs in a dystopian novel. A third said, “Can’t make this shit up, haha.”
We still need glacier ice for cocktails, despite global warming and the melting of ice caps? Talk about tone def. Been a devotee for years, but recently, I’m out when I can’t afford food because I’ve seen enough caviar,” remarked a fourth individual.
When Stewart bravely posed in provocative swimsuits for Sports Illustrated’s cover in May, she made history. The 81-year-old revealed her previous stringent health routine as well.
Stewart stated, “I didn’t starve myself, but I didn’t eat any bread or pasta for a couple of months,” in an interview with Today.
“It was incredible that I attended Pilates twice a week, and I continue to do so because it is so beneficial.” Either way, I live a clean lifestyle with a balanced diet, consistent exercise, good skincare, and other practices.
