I'd rather be free than take orders from anyone: Telegram CEO Durov in old interview

Telegram's billionaire CEO Pavel Durov, who has been arrested in France, in an old interview said, "I would rather be free than take orders from anyone." He said this while discussing the pressure he faced from Russian authorities to shut down opposition communities on his VK social media platform. Durov had to eventually leave Russia in 2014 and sell VK.
