On Monday, June 9, Tucker Carlson shared his latest interview with Pavel Durov. The American pundit last spoke to the founder of the messaging platform Telegram in April 2024. About four months after that conversation, police in Paris arrested Durov. The charges included ignoring information requests from law enforcement agencies, complicity in the distribution of hacking programs and child pornography, and laundering illicit money. In his follow-up interview, Carlson questioned Durov about his case in France, “Europe’s mission to make privacy illegal,” and government surveillance. Meduza briefly summarizes the exchange.
