🚪 15. Meta deleted crypto group, Durov opened the door to Telegram
Meta deleted one of the largest English-language crypto groups on Facebook with 330,000 members and an 8-year history. Founder Jeff Kirdeikis called it another round of "anti-crypto censorship." Pavel Durov publicly invited him and the community to Telegram as an alternative base.
➡️ The case highlights growing tension between Web2 platforms and crypto-native communities. For Telegram, this is another chance to position itself as a place with fewer arbitrary deletions and clearer interaction rules.
