French authorities recently arrested Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov at an airport near Paris. His arrest is linked to a preliminary investigation involving allegations that Telegram allows various crimes due to insufficient moderation and lack of cooperation with law enforcement. French President Emmanuel Macron commented that while France values freedom of expression, regulating it within legal boundaries is essential to protect citizens.
Pavel Durov, born in the former Soviet Union, co-founded VKontakte and later Telegram in 2013, focusing on user privacy and encryption. Telegram has gained global popularity, boasting over 900 million users. However, its strong privacy features have also made it a platform for illegal activities, including drug trafficking, cyberstalking, and terrorism support, leading to scrutiny and legal action.
The French case against Telegram alleges the platformâs complicity in several crimes. Additionally, Durov reportedly did not cooperate with the investigation, prompting an arrest warrant. The case has sparked criticism, including from figures like Edward Snowden, who condemned the arrest as an assault on free speech. The incident reflects ongoing tensions between governments and tech companies over content regulation and privacy rights.
