Telegram founder Pavel Durov arrested at Paris airport: report

Musk wrote “#FreePavel” on X hours after the billionaire Russian exile was arrested at Le Bourget airport, reportedly over allegations he has allowed criminal activity to thrive on his encrypted messaging app.

In a subsequent post to X, Musk slammed fellow social media leader Mark Zuckerberg, quote tweeting someone asking why the Meta CEO hasn’t been arrested for similar allegations as those faced by Pavel.Beware, typing these 4 characters will make your iPhone crash: 'Do at your own risk'Facebook owner Meta says it complies with law enforcement requests for data if they are legally compelled.

Durov, who is worth an estimated $15.5 billion, has maintained that Telegram is a neutral social media platform and not a “player in geopolitics.”“I think it’s the best place for a neutral platform like ours to be in if we want to make sure we can defend our users’ privacy and freedom of speech,” he told Tucker Carlson earlier this year.
