Shocking Arrest: Pavel Durov, Telegram Founder, Arrested Amid Criminal Charges Tied to Russia

Pavel Durov, Telegram's 39-year-old founder and CEO, was reportedly arrested at Bourget airport near Paris.

The arrest is allegedly linked to Telegram's lack of content moderation.

Launched in 2013, Telegram has faced global scrutiny due to its emphasis on privacy and free speech, and its use by extremist groups.

Despite pressure from the EU and U.S. for stricter moderation, Durov maintained his stance against censorship.

Official statements on the arrest are pending.

France BLASTS Durov, Claims Allegations To Be ‘Fake and Denies Interfering…’ In Romanian Election

France has denied allegations of interfering in Romania’s presidential elections after Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed a “Western European government” asked him to block Romanian conservatives ahead of the vote. Durov hinted at France with a baguette emoji and accused French intel chief Nicolas Lerner of personally approaching him. France called the accusations “unfounded” and blamed Moscow for interference in the earlier annulled round. The tight runoff between centrist Nicusor and Euroskeptic Simion is now mired in deeper controversy. #France #RomaniaElection #Telegram #PavelDurov #ElectionInterference #GeorgeSimion #FranceDenies #RomaniaVotes #Nicusor #RomanianPolitics #DurovVsFrance #ElectionScandal #ForeignInfluence #MoscowBlamed #FrenchForeignMinistry #EuropeanPolitics #HybridWarfare #TelegramPolitics #FreedomOfSpeech #ElectionControversy ~HT.410~
