TikTok reinstates Telegram founder’s account following suspension

The TikTok account of Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been restored following a period of suspension.

The entrepreneur’s page is now active, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

On March 5, when the profile was inaccessible, it had 156,000 followers and 114,000 likes. After the account was reinstated, the audience grew to 161,000 followers and 120,000 likes. 

The profile now also features a single video, seemingly created with the help of artificial intelligence.

Notably, in January, Durov stated that he does not watch content on TikTok, calling the platform “brain-destroying.” 

He also mentioned that he rarely uses a mobile phone, considering it both a distraction and a potential security risk.
