Pawel Durow, the founder of Telegram, faced serious allegations in court regarding the platform's involvement in facilitating criminal activities, including child pornography and drug trafficking. While judges criticized Telegram's moderation efforts as insufficient, Durow defended his stance, asserting that the platform promotes freedom of speech and takes action against illicit content.

He emphasized that Telegram is addressing these issues more vigorously than its competitors. Following his arrest, Durow was released on bail with conditions, including regular police check-ins and restricted travel.

The situation has prompted Telegram to enhance its cooperation with French authorities by sharing increased user data.
