A comment on Telegram founder Pavel Durov arrested at French airport. Parent comment
I’m sorry?
Operating a platform facilitating crime on a large scale is a very valid reason to arrest someone.
The uberisation of drug dealing is a major issue in France right now and striking Telegram would be a huge blow to that.
Obviously legalisation would be even better but that door is shut due to the US influence on international treaties.
