PANews reported on August 28 that according to CoinDesk, Galaxy Research said that the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France may be the first arrest of a social media company executive due to failure to adequately regulate the platform, but it may not be the last. Durov and Telegram may have been hit for refusing removal or information requests from Europe or France. Telegram's integration with the TON blockchain may be related to some "fraud" or "money laundering" charges. It is unclear how resistant TON is to risks, especially if France or other governments try to crack down on the network.
