Pavel Durov once said that US agents tried to bribe engineers in order to gain better control of Telegram

BlockBeats news, on August 25, according to the interview video of Tucker Carlson, a well-known American political commentator and journalist, with Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, Durov said in the interview: "Whenever we come to the United States, we will receive too much attention from the FBI and other security agencies. The last time I went to the United States, I brought an engineer who worked at Telegram. Cybersecurity officials or agents tried to secretly hire my engineer behind my back. They would like to know which open source libraries are integrated into Telegram's application and try to convince him to use certain open source tools that act as backdoors. "

"I have personally experienced similar pressure in the United States. Whenever I go to the United States, I am greeted by two FBI agents at the airport and asked questions. My understanding is that they hope to establish a relationship to better control Telegram. "
