đš Telegram CEOâs Bold Stand: A Call for Fairness and Safety! đš
In a recent update, Telegram's CEO shared a powerful message addressing his recent police interrogation in Paris. He stood firm against accusations that he might be personally liable for illegal activities on Telegramâa claim he disputes for several reasons:
1. **Established Channels**: Telegram has an official EU representative to handle law enforcement requests. Their contact information is publicly available, and the French authorities had multiple ways to reach out directly.
2. **Direct Engagement**: As a French citizen, the CEO has previously assisted French authorities, including setting up a hotline to tackle terrorism.
3. **Misguided Legal Framework**: Charging a CEO for third-party abuses on their platform, using outdated laws, is not only impractical but could stifle innovation. The CEO stresses the need for fair legal practices that don't punish technological progress.
Despite the challenges, Telegram remains committed to balancing privacy with security, always ready to withdraw from markets that don't align with their principles. They've previously exited Russia and Iran rather than compromise on core values.
Telegram acknowledges its growing pains and is working on substantial improvements to enhance safety on the platform. Transparency and user protection are their priorities, and theyâre dedicated to evolving with these challenges.
Stay tuned for updates as Telegram strives to make the digital space safer for everyone! đ
