Pavel Durov, the CEO of the popular messaging app Telegram, is currently under formal investigation by French authorities.
This development has sparked a debate about the extent of responsibility that heads of social networks bear for activities conducted on their platforms. Durov's legal team has dismissed the allegations as 'absurd,' arguing that it is unreasonable to hold the CEO accountable for criminal acts potentially facilitated by the app. The Kremlin has also weighed in, cautioning against turning the investigation into a case of political persecution.
Despite the controversy, Durov was released from police custody after four days of questioning, with the investigation ongoing.
