So the telegram boss is charged as a publisher but all the western owned apps are not responsible for the way their platforms are used.

Most interesting charge is refusing to cooperate with government agencies, or something along that line probably why the other charges were put in place cause he refused to give government control of his platform.

Imagine leaving EU to be arrested by EU and them be supported for release by the EU, its the whole World War game on a smaller scale.

I bet Musk is reviewing his travel schedule in light of all this. The UK might well arrest him if he's dumb enough to visit.

Refusing to allow the EU to control the communication platform so they can censor it is his crime, tge regime tolerates no dissent.

If only the French were as lenient as Russia. Just keep on the ground floor and be careful what you eat, drink or touch!

Times Radio wrong as usual! It is the UAE that is showing its discontent regarding P. Durov's arrest in cancelling its US$20 billion deal with France for 80 Rafale fighter jets.
