Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, was arrested in France, sparking reactions.
Free speech advocates criticise it as an attempt to control the platform.
Durov’s detention has been reportedly extended up to 24 hours.
French authorities arrested Pavel Durov, the CEO of the popular messaging app Telegram, on Saturday, after he arrived from Azerbaijan on his private jet at Le Bourget airport, near Paris.
While Durov is being accused of “failing to take action to curb the criminal use of his platform,” the arrest reportedly involved officers from several French agencies.
Telegram has questioned the legality of Durov’s detention.
The arrest was jointly conducted by the Air Transport Gendarmerie (GTA), the Cyberspace Gendarmerie Command (COMCyberGEND), the National Anti-Fraud Office (ONAF), and the Border Police (PAF).
Durov faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
The 39-year-old Franco-Russian billionaire was arrested in France on Saturday.
The news of Durov’s arrest has sparked reactions from all corners.
On one hand, reactionaries on social media claimed that France is cracking down on criminal activities facilitated by Telegram’s encrypted messaging platform.
On the other hand, however, free speech advocates like Edward Snowden and Leonid Volkov, an advisor to Alexei Navalny, have come forward to criticise France’s actions.
The arrest of @Durov is an assault on the basic human rights of speech and association. I am surprised and deeply saddened that Macron has descended to the level of taking hostages as a means for gaining access to private communications. It lowers not only France, but the world.
— Edward Snowden (@Snowden) August 25, 2024
— Мессенджер Telegram, безусловно, лучший продукт своего класса; Павлу Дурову с совсем небольшой командой удался настоящий прорыв, и огромный успех Telegam является совершенно заслуженным,
— Свобода и успех всегда идут в комплекте с ответственностью, и чем ты больше и успешнее,…
— Leonid Volkov (@leonidvolkov) August 25, 2024
Free speech advocates from across the board have argued that the move is an attempt to control a platform that supports free speech.
Telegram maintains minimal oversight over its 900 million users worldwide.
Elon Musk criticized the situation, on X saying that in Europe in 2030, it looks like people are being punished for just liking a meme.
Businessman and investor Elon Musk too has expressed concerns over European authorities arresting Pavel Durov.
In multiple posts on X (previously Twitter), Musk described the arrest as an attack on free speech and demanded justice for Durov.
It is vital to the support of free speech that you forward 𝕏 posts to people you know, especially in censorship-heavy countries
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 25, 2024
Musk, who sparked a lot of buzz a couple of years ago over his acquisition of American social media company Twitter, didn’t shy away from accusing Meta Founder Mark Zuckerberg of “caving into censorship pressure.”
“…..he already caved into censorship pressure. Instagram has a massive child exploitation problem, but no arrest for Zuck, as he censors free speech and gives governments backdoor access to user data,” the X owner posted.

Meta is testing the Ephemeral Posts feature on Threads.
The feature will allow posts and their replies to disappear after 24 hours.
Currently, the feature is being tested with a select group of users.
Meta is also preparing to introduce ads on Threads.
Meta is testing a new feature on Threads that will allow users to post content that disappears after 24 hours.
In an attempt to encourage a more casual way of sharing updates among Threads users, this feature will auto-delete posts and their replies once a timer runs out.
If this sounds familiar to you, it is because we already have seen this feature in various other platforms including Meta’s very own Instagram.
Reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi recently demonstrated this ephemeral post format on their handle alex193a on Threads.
Alessandro Paluzzi’s demo of the Threads feature in the testing phase (Screenshot Credit – TechCrunch).
When users reply to a post, a visible timer will start a countdown.
This will indicate that the post and all its replies will disappear when the time is up.
Interestingly, quote posts will also disappear, although the app’s banner doesn’t explicitly mention this.
This feature is specifically designed for people who keep deleting posts.
Moreover, the 24-hour posts could be especially useful for creators.
Many creators want to share off-brand or off-topic content and they do not wish to clutter their profiles at the same time.
The feature might also appeal to users who want to comment on live events.
The post and comments will be deleted once the event is over.
Speaking to TechCrunch, a Meta spokesperson described the feature as a “new and casual way to share on Threads.”
Meta also confirmed to TechCrunch that this feature is being tested with a select group of users. However, it’s unclear if the testing is region-specific or how users can access it.
Alessandro Paluzzi first revealed the feature details in June 2024.
Paluzzi initially discovered the feature of disappearing posts back in June.
He shared a screenshot that showed a 24-hour button next to the Post button, which would publish a disappearing thread.
Technologist Chris Messina confirming the upcoming 24-hour post feature on Threads.
Earlier this month, Technologist Chris Messina also found hints about this feature in the iOS app’s code.
However, it’s important to note that these temporary posts won’t work on posts shared with the fediverse, such as Mastodon.
Meta would not be able to delete posts from other servers.
We have previously seen this ephemeral post feature in apps such as X, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Instagram.
The feature on paper sounds similar to Twitter’s Fleets. It was a short-lived feature quite similar to Instagram Stories, however, Fleets was discontinued within a year due to low usage.
Alessandro Paluzzi leaked Threads will bring ads on the year-old platform.
In addition to the disappearing posts, Paluzzi also claimed that Meta is preparing to introduce ads on Threads.
With over 200 million users base, Threads is admittedly looking for ways to generate revenue.
However, the Instagram spokesperson didn’t confirm the ads feature.
The feature will allow posts and their replies to disappear after 24 hours.
“We’re not testing ads in Threads at this time, and there is no immediate timeline for monetization,” Instagram spokesperson Alec Booker told TechCrunch when asked about the ads feature leak.
