Basically as he did not provide access to the encrypted messages and communication in Telegram, they accused him for supporting the criminals. That's all to it.

It is basically the part of the current politics in EU where they are trying to force access to all encrypted traffic across devices.

- mdhb 2y agoDo you have any proof of this whatsoever or are you just making this up?
- evilfred 2y agojust one google away https://www.wired.com/story/the-kremlin-has-entered-the-chat/ https://www.wired.com/story/the-kremlin-has-entered-the-chat...
- a0123 2y agoYeah, and do you think France is going to arrest Durov on the Kremlin's request. Fun fact: the Russian government and high ranking officials are outraged by the arrest and are asking the Russian state to pressure France into releasing him. It's one google away. Before you blame this one on Russia too.

- evilfred 2y agohuh? I was not suggesting that France is collaborating with Russia lol. sorry for facts getting in your way. Russia already has plenty of blood on its hands from kidnapping thousands of Ukrainian children and raping others.
- squidbeak 2y agoThis is incorrect. Channels and their associated chats aren't encrypted and are centrally hosted by Telegram.
- lxgr 2y agoIf they were functionally encrypted, how could he possibly provide them? Since they’re not, this doesn’t seem much different from e.g. an email provider refusing some court access to somebody’s mail archive (i.e. a very bad idea if your executives ever want to set foot in that country). I’m really having a very hard time finding much sympathy for an operation that kept endangering users by spreading misinformation about its own security model, while at the same time building a jurisdiction-hopping warrant evasion machine to protect data they arguably shouldn’t even have if that security model were accurate.
