Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, was arrested in Paris due to a police investigation related to insufficient moderation on the platform, which allegedly enabled criminal activities.
The investigation into Durov is linked to Telegram's lack of moderators, raising concerns about how this enables crime, highlighting the app's significant influence in post-Soviet regions.
Durov stated he preferred freedom over compliance, emphasizing his decision to leave Russia in 2014 when he refused to shut down opposition communities on his social media.
Telegram, ranked among major social media platforms, has close to one billion users and is particularly influential in Russia and Ukraine, amplifying concerns over its governance.
