Shocking Arrest: Pavel Durov, Telegram Founder, Arrested Amid Criminal Charges Tied to Russia

Pavel Durov, Telegram's 39-year-old founder and CEO, was reportedly arrested at Bourget airport near Paris.

The arrest is allegedly linked to Telegram's lack of content moderation.

Launched in 2013, Telegram has faced global scrutiny due to its emphasis on privacy and free speech, and its use by extremist groups.

Despite pressure from the EU and U.S. for stricter moderation, Durov maintained his stance against censorship.

Official statements on the arrest are pending.
