Telegram CEO Durov Arrested | Are Tech Bosses Responsible For Content On Their Platforms? | N18G

[Music] the arrest of pav durov a Russian born billionaire and the CEO of telegram has sparked a big debate on free speech censorship and whether Tech bosses should be responsible for the content on their platforms durov who's often referred to as the Mark Zuckerberg of Russia was arrested at paris's bouro airport where he had landed on a private jet from azerbijan the arrest warrant was reportedly related to telegram's lack of moderation which has led to moneya laundering drug trafficking and the spread of pedophilic content on the platform durov is accused of failing to Halt the use of his app for criminality telegram said durov has nothing to hide and it was absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform but his arrest quickly prompted criticism from prominent anti-censorship figures Elon Musk posted free pav on his social media platform X alongside a video of durov on taka Carlson show where the telegram founder lorded X for its more open moderation style under musk taka Carlson himself said the arrest was a living warning to any platform owner who refuses to censor the truth at the behest of governments and Intel agencies Robert F Kennedy Jr posted France just arrested Pavel durov founder and CEO of encrypted uncensored telegram platform the need to protect free speech has never been more urgent pav durov and his brother Nikolai launched Telegram in 2013 in Russia but durov fled the country in 2014 in search of a new home for his company trying out cities including Berlin Singapore and San Francisco before finally settling in Dubai now telegram has nearly a billion users worldwide and has grown into one of the world's largest online communication tools telegram is ranked as one of the major social media platforms after Facebook YouTube WhatsApp Instagram Tik Tok and WeChat this growth has been driven partly by a commitment to free speech telegram works as a standard messaging app like iMessage or Whatsapp but it also hosts channels and groups in which a large number of people like up to 200,000 can broadcast their ideas and communicate telegram allows sharing of large files and there is no limit on sharing links and Bots that can interact with users within channels so several countries in Europe including France have raised concerns about the app relating to security and data privacy telegram has long been on the radar of law enforcement agencies around the world because terrorist organizations drug sellers weapons dealers and farite extremist groups have used it for communicating recruiting and organizing telegram's Firm Stance against censorship has made it especially prominent in countries where freedom of speech is curtailed such as in Iran and Russia the app was banned in Russia in 2018 after Pavel refused to hand over user data but the ban was reversed in 2021 after Russia launched its fullscale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 telegram became the main source of unfiltered and sometimes graphic content from both sides in the war the app was heavily used by Russian and Ukrainian officials including Ukrainian president zilinski the platform is also favored by white supremacists and Terror groups including Isis at the end of October 2023 prog restricted access to several channels associated with or operated by Hamas after weeks of scrutiny following its October 7 attacks on Israel during the recent far right riots in the UK telegram was scrutinized for hosting fari channels that were instrumental in organizing the violence in several cities telegram did remove some groups but experts say its overall system of moderating extremist and illegal content is significantly weaker than that of other social media compan and messenger apps 39-year-old pav durov has largely avoided the kind of public scrutiny faced by top Executives of other large online platforms including Elon Musk of X Mark Zuckerberg of meta shiau of Tik Tok and Sund picai of Google so his arrest has little precedent while the European Union and the US government have summoned and questioned leaders of other social media firms rarely has a major Tech leader been arrested over what takes place on such sites durov's arrest is pathbreaking in more ways than one and sends a big warning to social media Giants
