Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov ’s arrest is difficult to overstate the potential significance of his arrest.
Prosecutors say he was detained as part of an investigation involving 12 criminal allegations, most of them related to “complicity” in serious crimes ranging from drug trafficking to the distribution of child sex abuse material.
The argument that tech companies should be held criminally liable for the activities of people who use their services is, at best, tendentious.
Many tech entrepreneurs and internet freedom advocates argue that the arrest sets a dangerous precedent.
Durov left Russia in 2014 after refusing to silence opposition groups on VK social network.
Questions have also been raised about the geopolitical implications of the case against him.
After a maximum 96 hours in custody, he must either be charged or released on Wednesday .
The French government has sought to dispel any suggestion that his arrest is politically motivated.
