Earlier this week, Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, faced preliminary charges for allegedly facilitating criminal activities on his encrypted platform. These charges include accusations of enabling drug trafficking and the sharing of sexual images of minors due to inadequate moderation. Durov's arrest has not deterred President Macron from using the messaging app. According to European press reports, on August 26, the head of state was indicated to have logged into Telegram "recently."Additionally, French lawmakers, cabinet members, and presidential advisers frequently use the messaging platform, as revealed by the media. The list could go on indefinitely. The platform has evolved into a convenient means for world leaders to engage with their constituents.
