"Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act - its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving," the company said in a statement. "Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe."
"It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform," Telegram said in a published statement.
"After news appeared in the media about the detention of P.V. Durov, we immediately requested clarification from the French authorities regarding the reasons and demanded the protection of his rights and the provision of consular access. As of today, the French side has so far avoided cooperation on this issue," the Russian embassy in France said in a statement.
"All large social media apps are easy targets for criticism due to the content they host. I can't recall any major social platform whose moderation has been consistently praised by traditional media," Durov mentioned, reflecting the ongoing challenges in content moderation.
