#Telegram messaging app CEO Pavel Durov arrested in France, French media say
Snippet: TF1 and BFM both said the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram, and that police considered that this situation allowed criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.
@nerd7473 The thing that concerns me about this is if they want him to start policing what other people say to one another, that means they might also take action against end-to-end encrypted apps like Signal, Matrix, etc. because of things they have no visibility or power over. Telegram is an easy target because it isn't E2EE by default and people have absolutely been openly using it as a hub to disseminate misinformation/disinformation and such in the groups, but it may extend to other apps.
