Pavel Durov, CEO and founder of Telegram, was arrested at Bourget Airport near Paris while traveling from Azerbaijan on his private jet. The arrest follows an arrest warrant related to a preliminary police investigation into the lack of moderators on Telegram. French authorities are probing how insufficient moderation may have enabled criminal activity on the app. Telegram has yet to comment on the arrest. Durov, who left Russia in 2014, has faced government pressure in the past but has maintained that Telegram should remain a neutral platform.
