In an unprecedented move, Telegram founder Pavel Durov faces formal investigation in France related to crime on the messaging app, raising debates on platform accountability.
Paris prosecutors stated that Durov is under investigation for alleged complicity in facilitating illicit transactions and distribution of child sexual images via Telegram.
Durov's lawyer insists that Telegram adheres to EU regulations and that the allegations against his client are unfounded and absurd, emphasizing platform moderation.
This case marks a significant moment in social media regulation, where a platform owner faces legal scrutiny for the behavior of users, igniting discussions on free speech.
