Telegram founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France for “allowing criminal activity” on his app.
Local news sources say the investigation is focused on “a lack of moderators.”
Early official comments to French media suggest this follows from France's displeasure with Telegram's moderation & compliance with official requests.
Durov previously told Tucker Carlson that the FBI was constantly breathing down his neck.
“Whenever I would go to the US I would have FBI agents greeting me at the airport asking questions.”
“One time I was having my breakfast at 9:00 AM and the FBI showed up at my house that I was renting… and I thought, you know, we're getting too much attention here.”
Telegram first. X next.
