{"content":"Telegram’s Pavel Durov: “A Year After My Arrest, Justice Still Waits” Telegram founder Pavel Durov has reignited debate on digital freedom and state overreach with a striking revelation on X. Reflecting on his arrest in France one year ago, Durov highlighted the absurdity of holding a platform CEO criminally liable for user actions. “A year ago, the French police detained me for 4 days simply because some people I had never heard of used Telegram to coordinate crimes,” he wrote. The Core Issue: Durov argues that the case itself is built on shaky legal ground. Despite industry-standard moderation policies and compliance with all legally binding requests, French authorities continue to pursue him. More strikingly, he points out that French police bypassed proper EU legal channels before 2024, undermining their own credibility. Consequences Beyond Telegram: Personal toll: Durov must still report to France every 14 days, with no appeal date in sight. Political impact: The arrest has, in his words, “seriously damaged France’s image as a free country.” Industry implications: His case could set a dangerous precedent where platform founders are punished for user behavior. What Comes Next? Despite the pressure, Durov remains defiant: “One thing is certain: we will continue to fight, and we will win.” His ongoing battle has now become more than a personal legal fight — it’s a global test case for the future of digital platforms, accountability, and free expression.
