Telegram's founder is under investigation again in France, with the platform accused of hosting illegal content.


according to Agence France-Presse, Telegram founder Pavel Durov was questioned by French investigating judges in Paris on July 28. This is the third time that the 40-year-old Durov has been questioned since his arrest in 2024. The French authorities accuse the Telegram platform of hosting illegal transactions, child pornography, and other illegal content. Durov denies the allegations, and his lawyer stated that the full-day questioning on Monday gave Durov the opportunity to provide additional explanations and prove that the investigation is baseless.
