The founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, commented on the recent ban of Telegram in Brazil, reinforcing the mission of the company to preserve privacy and freedom of speech around the world.

He stated, "In cases where local laws go against this mission or impose technologically unfeasible requirements, we sometimes have to leave such markets...No matter the cost, we will stand up for our users in Brazil and their right to private communication."
