In October 2025 Durov posted a dire message on Telegram:
{{quotebox-float|Our generation is running out of time to save the free [[Internet]] built for us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of [[information]] is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing [[dystopia]]n measures such as [[digital ID]]s ([[UK]]), online age checks ([[Australia]]), and mass scanning of private messages ([[EU]]).
[[Germany]] is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their [[tweet]]s. [[France]] is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend [[freedom]] and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in [[history]] as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.
We’ve been fed a [[lie]].
We've been made to [[believe]] that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: [[tradition]], [[privacy]], [[sovereignty]], the [[free market]], and [[free speech]].
By betraying the [[legacy]] of our [[ancestor]]s, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — [[moral]], [[intellect]]ual, [[economic]], and ultimately [[biological]].}}
