Telegram Founder Durov Arrested on Serious Charges
Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, was arrested in France on Saturday, facing charges including complicity in child exploitation, drug trafficking, and other organized criminal activities. Telegram has denied these allegations, emphasizing compliance with European laws and criticizing the idea of holding the platform accountable for user actions. The arrest has sparked significant backlash from tech leaders and privacy advocates who see it as an overreach and a potential precedent for targeting tech executives. French President Emmanuel Macron defended the arrest as a non-political judicial action. The incident has also affected the market, with the cryptocurrency Toncoin linked to Telegram experiencing a notable drop.
