Breaking news: Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been transferred to court in France after his arrest on August 24. Released from police custody on August 28, Durov now faces âinitial questioning and possible indictment,â according to the Paris prosecutorâs office.
The controversy? Authorities claim Telegramâs lack of moderation has allowed criminal activities to flourish. The app is accused of aiding fraudsters, drug traffickers, and those spreading child pornography, and has reportedly been used by extremist groups for their operations. Durov was detained upon arriving from Azerbaijan in a private jet.
French President Emmanuel Macron has stressed that Durovâs arrest is part of a judicial investigation and not politically motivated. âThe arrest is part of an ongoing judicial investigation,â Macron stated. âIt is in no way a political decision. It is up to the judges to rule.â
Elon Musk has stepped in to support Durov, suggesting that this investigation might threaten freedom of speech.
