Standing with Pavel Durov: Join the Digital Resistance Movement

In light of recent events, the TON Community is rallying in support of Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram messenger who was recently detained in France. As a gesture of solidarity, we’re updating Toncoin’s logo and profile pictures across all TON Community channels to feature the Resistance Dog—a powerful symbol of the Digital Resistance movement.

The Origins of Digital Resistance

The Digital Resistance movement was initiated by Pavel Durov during his ongoing efforts to protect user privacy and defend freedom of speech on Telegram. This movement represents the broader struggle for digital rights and privacy in an increasingly monitored online environment. TON blockchain, which originated from Telegram’s blockchain initiative, continues to embody these principles of digital freedom.

How You Can Participate in the Movement

If you believe in digital rights and wish to show support for Pavel Durov, here are three simple ways to join the Digital Resistance:

1️⃣ Share this message using the #FREEDUROV hashtag to increase awareness

2️⃣ Add the 🆓 symbol to your username to demonstrate solidarity

3️⃣ Change your avatar to the Resistance Dog (available from our profile photo) to visually connect with the movement

Digital resistance movements leverage technology as powerful tools for advocacy, creating networks of support that transcend geographical boundaries. By participating, you’re joining a global community that stands for digital freedom and privacy protection principles that are fundamental to the crypto ecosystem.
