The reports claiming that Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has been arrested in France appear to be true. Durov was reportedly detained at Le Bourget airport near Paris, based on a warrant issued by French authorities. The charges against him include conspiracy, cyberbullying, trafficking, and other criminal activities allegedly linked to content on Telegram. This action follows growing concerns over Telegram's moderation practices, especially in relation to illegal activities taking place on the platform. The situation is still developing, and there has been no official confirmation from French authorities, although Russia's embassy in France has acknowledged the reports and is seeking more information. Telegram has issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to EU laws, including the Digital Services Act, and has expressed concerns over what it views as an unjust attribution of responsibility for content shared by users on its platform​.
