Durov is accused of failing to take action to curb the criminal use of his messaging platform
The Russian-born founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, is due to appear in a French court in the coming days after his arrest at a Paris airport over alleged offences related to the messaging app.
Russian authorities have accused France of “refusing to co-operate”. The Russian embassy in Paris has asked for access to Durov and said France had so far “avoided engagement” on the situation.How Lidl accidentally took on the big guns of cloud computing Initially Telegram was similar to other messaging apps, but has since diverged to become more of a social network in its own right. As well as communicating one to one, users can join groups of up to 200,000 people and create broadcast “channels” that others can follow and leave comments on.
In the UAE, Telegram faces little pressure to moderate its content, while western governments are trying to crack down on hate speech, disinformation, sharing of images of child abuse and other illegal content. The former Russian president turned hawkish deputy head of Russia’s security council, Dmitry Medvedev, claimed that Durov had made a mistake by fleeing Russia and thinking he would never have to co-operate with security services abroad. “He miscalculated,” Medvedev said. “For all our common enemies now, he is Russian – and therefore unpredictable and dangerous.”
