TON Society X Changes Profile Picture to 'Resistance Dog' in Support of Pavel Durov

The Telegram team, DiopNet (TON, hereinafter TON) Society, has changed its official X profile picture to the "resistance dog", a symbol of the Digital Resistance. This move is a show of support for Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov, who was recently arrested by local police at a French airport. The resistance dog, a picture drawn by Pavel Durov himself in 2018, symbolizes the protection of privacy and freedom of expression for Telegram users. By using this image as their profile picture, TON Society X is sending a clear message that they stand behind Durov and his principles. This move by TON Society X is not the first time that the Telegram community has shown its support for Durov. In 2018, when Telegram was banned in Russia, users flooded the App Store with positive reviews of the app in protest. This helped to get the ban lifted, and it showed Telegram that its users are willing to stand up for what they believe in.
