Telegram Founder Refutes Allegations by French Media: Always Compliant with EU Regulations, Policy Unchanged Despite Detention

BlockBeats News, April 17th, Telegram founder Pavel Durov responded to a report from a French media outlet on his personal channel, stating that his detention was not "forcing Telegram to comply with EU regulations." Telegram has always operated legally and compliantly. What truly changed was that the French police only started making requests in accordance with the EU's Digital Services Act after the fact. The established communication process has long been public, making it puzzling why the French law enforcement previously overlooked this legal procedure. Telegram emphasized its ongoing commitment to compliance on a global scale, with preparations for EU regulations starting years in advance.
