Pavel Durov stated that charging a CEO for third-party crimes is a misguided approach, emphasizing that if a service is problematic, legal action should target the service instead.
He criticized the French authorities for not reaching out to Telegram directly with concerns, suggesting they had multiple ways to communicate with him.
Durov expressed that the potential for personal legal liability stifles innovation, asserting that if innovators fear accountability for misuse, they won't create new technologies.
Acknowledging criticisms of Telegram, Durov defended the platform's active moderation efforts, revealing that they remove millions of harmful posts daily while aiming to improve user safety.
