Layer 1 blockchain The Open Network (TON) issues a statement of support for Telegram founder Pavel Durov following his recent arrest in France.
TON said on the social media platform that its network will continue to operate as usual following Durov’s detention for alleged offenses related to the Telegram messaging app.
“As a community committed to freedom of expression and decentralization, we stand firmly with Pavel during this difficult time. Pavel is a strong advocate for these values and we believe his efforts to promote an open and decentralized Internet will continue to inspire millions of people.”
The TON community remains focused on our mission and we will continue our work to uphold these principles globally. We encourage everyone to remain calm, united, and continue building as we navigate this situation together.
According to a BBC report, the billionaire was arrested at a French airport after being accused of failing to moderate Telegram for content related to drugs, fraud and other criminal activities.
Telegram has previously denied the allegation.
The Open Network was initially developed by Telegram in 2018, but was later renamed Toncoin after being taken over by the TON Foundation, an international group of independent developers.
TON is trading at $5.76 at the time of writing, a fractional increase in the past 24 hours.
