Telegram founder warns France may label tech firms as criminal gangs
MOSCOW: Telegram founder Pavel Durov has raised concerns that French authorities could arbitrarily classify any technology company as a 'criminal gang' due to political motivations. His remarks followed accusations by Elon Musk's X platform, which claimed it was facing a politically driven criminal probe in France. X stated that the investigation jeopardizes user freedom of expression. Durov responded on the platform, saying, 'At this point, any tech company can be declared a 'criminal gang' in France.' He criticized the situation, adding, 'A decade of efforts to attract tech investment is being undone by a few bureaucrats advancing their careers and political agendas — at the expense of the French people.' The controversy stems from a recent investigation launched by the Paris prosecutor's office into X's alleged algorithm manipulation. The case has sparked debates over regulatory overreach and its impact on tech innovation in France. - Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti
