Yeah, I almost put in a sentence or two acknowledging that -- as well as the fact that Durov is far more unprotected by a state from a geopolitical point of view. Would the French police arrest Mark Zuckerberg or another Facebook employee? It's not hard and fast (Italian and Brazilian courts have both put warrants out for the arrest of executives at major foreign tech companies), but it surely factors into how much political capital one would burn to pursue the case.
- xanathar 2y agoCurious: who was/is the tech executive with an Italian arrest warrant?
- dannyobrien 2y agoI can't find a description of an arrest warrant, but the case I was thinking of was this one from 2010 where three Google execs were found guilty and given suspended jail sentenced by an Italian court. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2010/feb/24/google-video-italy-privacy-convictions https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2010/feb/24/google-vi...
