Edward Snowden: France's arrest of Telegram CEO is an infringement on fundamental human rights such as freedom of speech

ChainCatcher message, "Prism" whistleblower Edward Snowden stated on social media: "The arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov is an infringement on fundamental human rights such as freedom of speech and the right to assemble. I am shocked and deeply saddened that Macron has fallen to the level of obtaining private communications through hostage-taking. This not only shames France but also shames the entire world."
