Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France on Saturday after his private jet landed at Le Bourget Airport, French media reported.
Durov was arrested under a warrant related to “various violations of his encrypted messaging service,” according to a report by Le Monde. The 39-year-old, who became a French citizen in 2021, is expected to be brought to court on Sunday.
French authorities are accusing Durov of a “lack of moderation” involving Telegram. The messaging app is reportedly under attack in Europe for the “viral circulation of false information.”
“Telegram has shielded itself from state moderation rules, at a time when the European Union and the United States are putting pressure on major platforms to remove illegal content,” Le Monde reported.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Similar thing the head of the European Commission threatened Musk with prior to the Trump interview.
Washington's warning in his Farewell Address comes to mind...
Clearly Big Brother is alive and well across the globe.
“who became a French citizen in 2021”
Not a bright individual is he?
He should do to the EU like Musk did with ‘X’ to Brazil. Remove the platform from the entire country...............

The more brazen this becomes, the less hope I have for our future.
France was facing a conservative backlash until Macron called for an election and destroyed the right.
It seems the left has all the power.
In the US, they selected a POTUS candidate, installed her and have kept her from answering a single question extemporaneously.
They seem very confident in the steal.
This could be game, set and match for global freedom.
I knew it. I said so right from the start. The Yurps arrested him because they can’t control ie censor, his platform. There is no other reason.
Europe has fallen to Fascism. Its time to get out of NATO.
Agreed. Like yesterday would have been nice. Toss in the UN and we can get a twofer
What chance does Durov have of leaving France? Will they hold him in prison until trial?
“ Washington’s warning in his Farewell Address comes to mind...”
Two of America’s truly great leaders, both Supreme military commanders, Washington and Eisenhower, issued sober warnings to the American government and the American people.
Both were ignored and now we are staring down the gun barrel of fascism.
