Telegram Arrest of Founder Pavel Durov Eminently Political

Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of the encrypted messaging app Telegram, was indicted on Wednesday evening, August 28 in France. The courts suspect him in particular of complicity in organized crimes and offenses via Telegram (drug trafficking, pedophilia, fraud and money laundering in an organized gang). But according to Fabrice Epelboin, a professor of digital geopolitics, the court decision is eminently political.
