Hello! Today I will speak about a businessman whom I admire. His name is Pavel Durov. Pavel Durov is like a Russian Mark Zuckerberg. He created VK, which is an analog of Facebook in Russia. It was launched in 2006, and everyone was using it. After that, he built the project and created Telegram. I think you know it because it's a very famous messenger. I really like Telegram and use it to communicate with all my friends, parents, and everyone. It's such a useful tool that all the other messengers admire him. When he had some problems with the government because they asked him for all the data of his users in Telegram, he refused and kept all their personal information private. I think it's very strong of him. I also believe that everyone should be like that and prioritize the privacy of their users and think about other people. He went to jail because of that, but not for a long time, and he didn't sell any data.
