Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has been arrested in France on 12 charges, including the distribution of child sex abuse images, drug trafficking, and fraud. A public prosecutor will decide on Wednesday whether the charges behind his arrest will be upheld. This could decide if he walks free, or spends time in prison. A legal expert tells NTD this arrest might serve as a warning to other platform owners in Europe as content moderation law tightens.
