The head of Telegram said that the police questioned him for four days because the French authorities did not receive answers from Telegram.
However, Durov disagrees with this, because, according to him, “Telegram has an official representative in the EU who receives and responds to EU requests.” And the French authorities had many ways to contact him to ask for help. “As a French citizen, I was a frequent visitor to the French consulate in Dubai. Some time ago, when I was asked, I personally helped them create a hotline with Telegram to combat the threat of terrorism in France,” Durov said.
According to Durov, if a country is unhappy with an Internet service, then it is common practice to file a lawsuit against the service itself. “Using pre-smartphone laws to accuse a CEO of crimes committed by third parties on the platform he runs is a misguided approach. Creating technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever create new tools if they know they can be held personally liable for potential abuse of these tools.”
