Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov is promising stepped-up efforts to fight criminality on the messaging app, his first public comments since French authorities handed him preliminary charges for allegedly allowing the platform’s use for criminal activity.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov spoke out for the first time since he was arrested by French authorities at Bourget Airport just outside Paris on Aug. 25.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov defended himself in his first public comments since being charged in France for “complicity” with criminal activity taking place on the popular messaging app.
Pavel Durov, the CEO of popular messaging app Telegram, has publicly addressed his recent arrest in Paris, calling the French authorities' approach "misguided" and expressing surprise at being held personally responsible for illegal activities on his platform.
The Telegram founder and CEO, however, described his arrest by French authorities as “misguided” and said the messaging platform was not an “anarchic paradise.”
