According to Odaily Planet Daily, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov criticized the EU's media restrictions, stating that Russian users enjoy more freedom than European users.
Durov stated on social media platform X that the EU restricts access to certain Russian media according to the DSA and sanctions law, while Western media can still be freely accessed in Russia.
Durov's remarks reflect unease regarding the EU's (Digital Services Act) and sanctions measures, which aim to curb misinformation and block Russian state media, but critics argue may erode freedom of speech.
