Telegram CEO Pavel Durov arrested

Pavel Durov, Telegram’s billionaire founder, was reportedly arrested at Bourget Airport near Paris. French media cited an investigation into Telegram’s lack of moderation. Durov, whose app is influential in former Soviet countries, left Russia in 2014 after refusing government demands. The arrest sparked criticism from Russian officials. Telegram, with 900 million users, has become a key platform for war-related content since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Reuters
