It will remain so,\u201d Macron had said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn a state governed by the rule of law, freedoms are upheld within a legal framework, both on social media and in real life, to protect citizens and respect their fundamental rights. It is up to the judiciary, in full independence, to enforce the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe arrest of the president of Telegram on French soil took place as part of an ongoing judicial investigation. It is in no way a political decision. It is up to the judges to rule on the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elon Musk, the world\u2019s richest man and the owner of X, accused French authorities of infringing on Durov\u2019s rights and posted the \u2018#freepavel\u2019 hashtags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk had also faced criticism over moderation on his platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telegram allows groups of up to 200,000 members, which critics have argued makes it easier for misinformation and disinformation to spread and for users to share conspiracist, neo-Nazi, paedophilic, or terror-related content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app, with close to one billion users, is particularly influential in Russia, Ukraine, and the republics of the former Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several European countries, including France, have raised concerns about the app\u2019s security and data privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Durov had left Russia in 2014 after he refused to comply with demands to shut down opposition communities on his VK social media platform, which he later sold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pavel Durov, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Telegram, has been released from police custody after four days of interrogation.
