Cracking down on privacy tech is the US’s bread and butter, since forever
Huge list of privacy product founders that got rekt by the US when they refused to install backdoors, from Liberty Reserve to Lavabit, hundreds of them
Bitcoin / crypto really is unique in being so robust to government attacks, so much that they backtracked on directly cracking down on the tech itself around ~2014
ONLY real reason not to suspect US involvement in the telegram crackdown is if US already had it heavily backdoored, which is possible

Telegram’s popularity could not have a better story than its founder’s arrest – Durov’s former spox
George Lobushkin, Pavel Durov’s former press secretary, told RT that the Telegram founder's arrest is ‘more likely an attack from the US’ rather than an initiative from the EU or France. He also added that his arrest will positively impact Telegram’s reputation.
