Telegram founder Pavel Durov was arrested in Paris, facing charges of 12 criminal offenses, including failing to act against cyberbullying, pedophilic content, and terrorism glorification on Telegram. The charges are part of a judicial investigation opened in July 2024. Durov can be detained for up to 96 hours under organized crime laws. The Russian Embassy in Paris is involved in the case, while Telegram defended itself, stating it follows EU laws. Elon Musk and Edward Snowden criticized the arrest as an attack on free speech, though French President Macron insisted it was a legal matter, not political. Durov, who holds French citizenship, founded Telegram in 2013, which now has 900 million subscribers worldwide.
