Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov criticized French authorities for his recent arrest, calling it "misguided." Arrested on August 25 at a Paris-area airport, Durov faces charges related to alleged insufficient moderation on the messaging app, including complicity in illicit transactions, drug trafficking, fraud, and the spread of child sex abuse images. In his first public statement since the detention, Durov denied claims that Telegram operates as an "anarchic paradise" and argued that blaming him for crimes committed by third parties on the platform is an inappropriate approach. Durov's comments were shared on Telegram, defending the platform's moderation policies.
