Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, was arrested in Paris amid allegations that the app is being used for illicit activities like drug trafficking and child abuse distribution.
Telegram asserts it complies with EU laws and maintains industry-standard content moderation, claiming Durov has nothing to hide, highlighting their ongoing commitment to user privacy.
Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram allows group chats of up to 200,000 participants, which raises concerns among experts regarding the potential for misinformation to spread rapidly.
Despite offering encryption for communications, Telegram's feature is not default for users or group chats, differing from apps like Signal where it is provided automatically.
