French Toast

So this has happened:

According to BFMTV, the Telegram founder — often referred to as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia” — had not regularly traveled to France and Europe since the arrest warrant was issued. Durov, 39, was wanted under a French arrest warrant due to the lack of moderation on Telegram which led to it being used for money laundering, drug trafficking and sharing pedophilic content, according to BFMTV. European Union regulators have recently stepped up efforts to crack down on online platforms to combat disinformation and illegal content. The Russian Embassy in France on Sunday confirmed Durov’s detention and said it is in contact with Durov’s attorney. “Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act — its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving,” Telegram said Sunday in a release on its public board. “It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform,” Telegram added in the release.

Beware, Mark Zuckerburg and Elon Musk...
