Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of Telegram, was reportedly arrested at Le Bourget airport near Paris after arriving from Azerbaijan. The 39-year-old billionaire, known for founding the social network VKontakte (VK) and the messaging app Telegram, was detained by French gendarmes from the Air Transport Gendarmerie. Durov, often called the "Russian Mark Zuckerberg," faced controversy during his time at VK due to clashes with Russian authorities over censorship and user data. After leaving VK in 2014, he focused on Telegram, which became renowned for its strong emphasis on privacy and security, but also attracted criticism from governments concerned about its use by criminals and terrorists. Telegram has since grown to hundreds of millions of active users worldwide. Source: The Sun
