French investigative judge has charged Telegram CEO Pavel Durov with enabling illegal transactions amid a wider investigation into child sexual abuse material and other criminal activities on Telegram.
Durov's arrest came as he was deplaning in Paris after a warrant was issued as part of an effort by France's OFMIN to tackle violence against minors.
Telegram defended Durov, asserting he has 'nothing to hide' and criticized claims holding the platform accountable for user misconduct as 'absurd'.
Telegram is recognized both as a vital information source in less open countries and a platform exploited by terrorists and criminals due to its lack of strict moderation.
