Pavel Durov was detained at a French airport on Saturday evening amid an investigation into his platform's handling of child sex abuse.
MUNICH, GERMANY - JANUARY 24: Pavel Durov speaks during the Digital Life Design conference at HVB Forum on January 24, 2012 in Munich, Germany.
Former U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who ended his campaign Friday and backed former President Donald Trump, wrote on social media that Durov's arrest shows the need to protect free speech has "never been more urgent." Telegram released a statement Sunday denouncing the arrest, calling it "absurd" to claim the owner of a platform is personally responsible for abuse carried out by users.
