Pavel Durov, the chief executive officer of the messaging app Telegram, was arrested by French authorities on Saturday, according to
Duruv was nabbed after he arrived from Azerbaijan in his private jet at Le Bourget airport, which is near Paris.. It's one of the most downloaded apps all over the world and boasts 900 million users. It isn't as heavily moderated as other popular communication apps. This off-hand approach is allegedly the reason why Durov was arrested, as the app is viewed as a popular hangout spot for criminals and troublemakers.
In addition to not being properly moderated, Telegram is also being blamed for not being cooperative with law enforcement agencies and offering tools such as cryptocurrency that facilitate criminal activities.
