Pavel Durov poignant reflections from today :

“ Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.

What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.

A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms and allowed them to be taken away.

We’ve been fed a lie.

We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.

By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological. “
