Reports indicate Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been arrested in France. Allegations include inadequate moderation and aiding criminal activity. Awaiting official statements from Telegram and authorities.
Pavel Durov, widely recognized as the founder of the messaging app Telegram and the social networking site VKontakte (VK), has reportedly been arrested in France.
Durov, 39, a Russian citizen, has been living in self-imposed exile from Russia for several years. According to the French-language news site TF1, he was arrested by the French Air Transport Authority (La Gendarmerie des Transports Aériens) upon landing at Le Bourget airport in France while flying directly from Azerbaijan.
The report suggests that Durov was flagged under the Fichier des Personnes Recherchées (FPR), a French database of criminals and wanted individuals administered by the French Interior Ministry and used by national police and other law enforcement agencies in the country.
Regarding the reason for the arrest, initial official comments from the National Anti-Fraud Office (L’Office National Antifraude – ONAF) to the French media suggest that it is due to France’s displeasure with Telegram’s lack of content moderation, limited cooperation with law enforcement, and the availability of malicious tools on the platform.
It is worth noting that while Telegram is known for its encrypted messaging platform, the app has also been criticized for being a haven for Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), malicious tools like computer and smartphone malware, stolen databases, and other harmful content. Authorities have consistently criticized Telegram for its use by terrorists and its lack of content moderation.
While information about Durov’s arrest is still limited, here are some tweets related to this event:
