Telegram founder and chief executive Pavel Durov on Thursday hit out at France for arresting and charging him last month over the publication of extremist and illegal content on the popular messaging app.
In a lengthy post on Telegram, his first comment since his arrest, Durov said it was “surprising” he was being held responsible for other people’s content and added that it was a “misguided approach” to charge a CEO “with crimes committed by third parties”.
He also lashed out at claims that “that Telegram is some sort of anarchic paradise” as “absolutely untrue”.
