the article doesn’t explain what laws he’s accused of breaking. i’m not defending the person-- i find the lack of detail to be a bit odd.

The article mention that he is detained as part of a investigation:

Durov was traveling aboard his private jet, TF1 said on its website, adding he had been targeted by an arrest warrant in France as part of a preliminary police investigation.

TF1 and BFM both said the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram, and that police considered that this situation allowed criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.

I see, perhaps I’m just unfamiliar with the criminal justice system in France

In the United States, this would not be considered an arrest, but an investigative detention (a minor but important distinction)

Oh, that makes sense

Now we are detaining CEOs for potential criminal activity on their platforms, I expect to see many other CEOs behind bars before the end of the weekend

I imagine every platform has crime happening on it.

I don’t like that at all.

Hate on billionaires all you want, but a platform like this shouldn’t be forced to moderate. It runs completely counter to the USP of the app. It’s encrypted anonymous communication capabilities.
