Literally: “Telegram complies with EU laws, including the Digital Services Act – its methodology meets industry standards and is constantly being improved.

Notice:

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and often travels around Europe.

It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner is responsible for the abuse of that platform.”

Details: The social network confirmed that “nearly a billion users worldwide use Telegram as a means of communication and as a vital source of information. “

They also said that they intend to find a quick solution to this situation.

What is ahead: Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov was arrested Saturday night at Le Bourget airport in the suburbs of Paris. Law enforcement agencies accused him of involvement in drug trafficking, pedophilia and fraud due to the administration’s refusal to cooperate with French authorities.

The Russian embassy in France requested consular access to Durov and accused the French authorities of “avoiding interaction.” “

Toncoin cryptocurrency, which is used in Telegram and co-founded by Pavel Durov, has dropped significantly in price after news of the co-founder’s arrest in France.
