Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Telegram CEO Pavel Durov Calls His Arrest 'Misguided'
Caption:
The Telegram founder and CEO has spoken out against French authorities after his arrest last week over claims of insufficient moderation on the messaging platform. Durov, detained on August 25th, is now under formal investigation for alleged complicity in enabling illicit transactions, drug trafficking, fraud, and the spread of child abuse images. Durov, in his first public statement, called these accusations "misguided" and denied that Telegram is an "anarchic paradise. " He criticized the move to hold him personally responsible for crimes committed by third parties on the platform. Durov argued that legal actions should be directed at the service itself, not its CEO stating that applying outdated laws to tech innovators discourages future development.
