Pavel Durov founder and CEO of Telegram reportedly arrested in France

Telegram CEO and creator Pavel Durov was detained in France after stepping off his private jet at Bourget airport. 

Many people have been speculating about the arrest on social media, especially Telegram. According to French officials, Durov is an accomplice in drug trafficking, money laundering, and the transmission of child pornography over Telegram because of the platform's lack of content filtering and resistance to working with law enforcement. Read Here

More discussion about the extent to which messaging apps should be held accountable for the messages their users share will probably be sparked by the arrest. Born in Russia, Durov departed the nation in 2014 when he refused to comply with government demands to divulge information about Ukrainian protest leaders from his former Vkontakte social network. Read Here
