🔴 Telegram founder Pavel Durov arrested in France, reports French television TF1 I am a French journalist and believe me, TF1 is a good source Durov, who holds French citizenship, is allegedly the subject of a French search warrant Authorities are reportedly focusing on 2 primary concerns: Telegram's alleged lack of content moderation and Durov's apparent reluctance to cooperate with law enforcement on critical issues such as terrorism and child exploitation This high-profile arrest raises significant questions about digital privacy It's worth noting that one of the co-founders of the crypto mixer Tornado Cash is currently in prison, while the two co-founders of Samouraï Wallet are under house arrest
