French authorities arrested Pavel Durov, the Russian-born founder of Telegram, at a Paris airport. They now demand he appear in court over alleged offenses related to his messaging app. This heavy-handed action reflects the growing liberal crackdown on digital freedom.
Sources told AFP that police detained Franco-Russian tech billionaire Pavel Durov at Le Bourget airport. French investigators issued the arrest warrant as part of a probe into claims of fraud, drug trafficking, organized crime, promoting terrorism, and cyberbullying. Durov is now set to appear in court.
This aggressive move shows how far liberal authorities will go to smear a digital innovator who refuses to bow to their control.
