The Globalists In Plain Sight - Free Speech And Internet Trafficking 9/1/24
CDM's Globalists In Plain Sight Host Christine Dolan, Author of Shattered Innocence - A Shared Global Shame, Homayra Sellier, President and Founder of Innocence in Danger, and French intel analyst Thierry Laurent, will discuss freedom of speech and privacy versus transcriminal and transnational internet trafficking crimes.
Was Telegram's Founder and CEO Pavel Durov targeted because of his freedom of speech and privacy stands, or is there more to his recent arrest?
Which is it - crimes or political persecution, or an inevitable perfect storm?
French law enforcement arrested Telegram's Founder/CEO Pavel Durov in Paris, France a week ago. That ignited the long- standing debate about freedom of speech, privacy and internet use, and opened the door to expose the long-standing battles between tech giants and cybercrime law enforcement agencies worldwide for decades. It is a dispute that many tech companies have had with law enforcement in the Age of Digital slavery.
Telegram has nearly 900,000 users worldwide. Durov has stood for free speech and has promised to never compromise his users.
But, this past week, French authorities have charged Durov with "complicity" for drug trafficking and the distribution of child abuse images. Law enforcement has also accused the Russian-born billionaire of refusing to share documents needed for criminal investigations.
Although Durov has been released, he now is under judicial supervision and barred from leaving France.
Durov’s lawyer David-Olivier Kaminski has called the charges against Durov “totally absurd” that “don’t concern him, directly or indirectly."
Elon Musk, whistleblower Edward Snowden and ProtonMail founder Andy Yen, have condemned French authorities for Durov's arrest, calling it a threat to freedom of expression.
The Kremlin is calling Durov's arrest "political persecution."
Sellier, Booyens and Dolan have been on the frontlines investigating internet crimes globally for over two decades each representing victims and working with law enforcement and prosecutors and worked on some of the most renown cases.
They will address the elephant in the room - the internet - and the history that led to the first international law enforcement task force created over 20 years ago without an Act of Parliament or an Act of Congress that took on Big TECH battles that continue to the present day.
