Durov sold the share of VK due to friction with the FSB

If you follow the events around VK, then remember that in January Durov sold his share on vkontakte . As the hero of the post assured today - he had to do it:

“On December 13, 2013, the FSB demanded that we give out personal data to the organizers of Euromaidan groups. Our answer was and remains a categorical refusal - the jurisdiction of Russia does not apply to Ukrainian users of VKontakte. The issuance of personal data of Ukrainians to the Russian authorities would not only be against the law, but also a betrayal of all those millions of Ukrainians who trusted us.

In the process, I had to sacrifice a lot. In particular, I sold my share of VKontakte, since its presence could prevent me from making the right decisions. But I do not regret anything - the protection of people's personal data is worth it and much more. Since December 2013, I have no property, but I have something more important left - a clear conscience and ideals that I am ready to defend, ”Durov said on his webpage (document page 1 , page 2 ).

And at the same time he reported that he did not agree to block the Rospil group as well .

In my opinion, well done. True, I suppose the FSB had other methods of obtaining such information.
