Durov was arrested and charged with complicity related to Telegram's alleged role in facilitating the dissemination of child sexual abuse material, which raised serious legal issues for him.
French officials reported an almost total lack of response from Telegram to legal inquiries, prompting a criminal investigation into its executives for potential accountability in serious crimes.
The Paris prosecutor indicated cooperation deficits from Telegram led to the legal challenges facing Durov, citing increased scrutiny due to the company's inaction regarding legal requests.
Telegram's defense hinged on the argument that platforms should not be held liable for users' misuse, despite being implicated in significant investigations into criminal activities.
