The TON Foundation announced its happiness at the return of Pavel Durov's passport by the French authorities, granting him the freedom to leave the country whenever he wishes.

This development is a significant moment, as Telegram, used by nearly a billion people around the world, represents a global movement advocating for freedom of communication and the right to privacy. As part of the decentralized TON community, the foundation has supported Pavel's stance in defending freedom of expression and privacy online.

TON affirmed its commitment to these core principles, considering blockchain to be "technology of freedom" that can revolutionize the protection of personal rights. It also expressed gratitude to the supportive community, the tech industry, and everyone who advocated for Pavel Durov in his case.
