I would not trust social network owner with my messages.




This is what the wikipedia says about Pavel[0]:

>Durov holds libertarian economic and political views and says he is a vegetarian and identifies as a Taoist. He published anarcho-capitalist manifestos describing his ideas on improving Russia. On his 27th birthday, he donated a million dollars to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Well, I think I'd rather trust them than Google or Facebook, after all, you've got to trust somebody.
