It’s amazing what an arrest will make you do.
Pavel Durov who is the CEO of Telegram, and who was arrested by French authorities and now is facing charges related to child sexual abuse material, drug trafficking, importing cryptology without prior declaration, as well as a “near-total absence” of cooperation with French authorities, has broken his silence on these events. You can read his full statement here. I encourage you to read his statement, but here’s the things that it covers:
- He plays the “this is unfair” card for most of this statement.
- He admits that policing what happens on Telegram has become harder over time. And he says it’s now his “personal goal” to “significantly improve things in this regard.”
I will also note that it appears that this process of better moderation is beginning. The Verge notes that Telegram has already updated its FAQ to note that private chats are no longer shielded from being moderated.
I guess that he’s hoping that if he does this, French authorities won’t ship him to some dark prison cell for a long time. I am not sure if that will work, but good luck to him I suppose.
