France Charges Telegram CEO, Alleging He is “Allowing Criminal Activity” on Messaging App
Andrew Anglin August 29, 2024Do you know who I blame for this?
The Jews.
The Jews were going after TikTok hard, and it was obvious that they were eventually going to hit Telegram. Actually arresting the company’s CEO in France and charging him with not doing enough censorship is a bold and outrageous move, one you wouldn’t expect. But it was obvious they were going to do something.
Shutting down TikTok doesn’t mean much if Telegram is still active.
The Guardian:
Oh yes, of course.The head of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has been charged by the French judiciary for allegedly allowing criminal activity on the messaging app but avoided jail with a €5m bail.
The Russian-born multi-billionaire, who has French citizenship, was granted release on condition that he report to a police station twice a week and remain in France, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said in a statement.
The charges against Durov include complicity in the spread of sexual images of children and a litany of other alleged violations on the messaging app.
It’s for the children.
Well, they’re going to be doing a lot more moderation now.Durov, 39, was detained at Le Bourget airport, just outside Paris, on Saturday on suspicion of failing to act against illicit content on the service, including the exchange of child sexual imagery, drug trafficking and fraud.
His surprise arrest has put a spotlight on the criminal liability of Telegram, the popular app with around 1 billion users, and has sparked debate over free speech and government censorship.
Specialist French cybercrime and fraud detectives announced earlier this week that Durov’s arrest was part of a wide-ranging investigation into a failure to moderate alleged criminal activity on the messaging app.
In a statement on Sunday, Telegram said it abided by European Union laws and that its moderation was “within industry standards and constantly improving”.
He will probably make some kind of a deal. You would think he’d do that.
Ultimately, anything can be censored.
You would have thought they would have threatened to ban Telegram from Apple and Google, rather than straight-up arresting the CEO. But that’s what they did! They arrested the CEO! For child porn, apparently!
It’s wacky. Everything is getting very wacky.
You should be proud of yourself for holding yourself together, friend.
This is why I said the big internet companies have to be platforms. Imagine charging the Postal Service because someone sent child porn in the mail. It doesn’t make any sense.
