Durov's arrest signifies a shift in responsibility as the CEO of a major online platform faces criminal charges for the unchecked illegal activities on Telegram.
Legal experts highlight that Telegram's lack of content moderation has contributed significantly to its use as a platform for illegal activities, setting it apart from other social media.
Megan Squire notes that extremist groups exploit Telegram’s minimal moderation, saying, 'It's kind of a free-for-all there,' underlining the challenges of regulating such platforms.
This case challenges the traditional notion that platforms are not publishers, as it raises questions about the legal responsibilities of platform executives for hosted content.
