Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, was detained in France over allegations that the messaging platform failed to properly combat crime, including child sexual abuse material.
Investigative judges are exploring multiple allegations against Durov, including non-cooperation with legal authorities on wiretaps and enabling child exploitation.
Telegram insists that Durov has nothing to hide, claiming their operations comply with European laws and stating a platform's owner shouldn't be accountable for its abuse.
The recent detention sheds light on Telegram's content moderation practices, raising concerns over its use in facilitating criminal and extremist activities.
