Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, was detained in France facing charges related to illegal content on his messaging app, prompting strong reactions from supporters and critics.
French President Emmanuel Macron defended granting Durov French citizenship as a decision advantageous for France and emphasized the contributions of individuals who learn the language and excel globally.
Durov's arrest has incited debate about content moderation on Telegram, with supporters labeling him a champion of free speech while critics highlight the app's association with cyber crime.
Durov's lawyer contested the allegations against him, stating, 'Telegram complies in all respects with European rules concerning digital technology,' while criticizing the notion of his implication in app-related crimes.
