Founder of Russian Social Media Says He Got the Boot

Pavel Durov, the founder of Russia's most popular social network site, claims he has been ousted by allies of President Vladimir Putin -- who went ahead and took over the site while they were at it. Durov, who ran the mega-popular VKontakte, had reportedly run afoul of the Russian government for refusing to heed requests to censor posts on the site. For its part, the company claims that Durov resigned, but he said he only learned of his ouster from the press.
