Telegram founder refutes a French media accusation: has always complied with European Union regulations and has not changed its policy due to detention

On April 17, Telegram founder Pavel Durov responded to a French media report on his personal channel that his detention "forced Telegram to comply with European Union regulations" is not true. Telegram has always been in legal compliance, but what really changed is that the French police started submitting requests in accordance with the European Union Digital Services Act after the fact. The relevant contact process has long been public, and it is puzzling that French law enforcement agencies have previously ignored this legal process. Telegram emphasizes that it continues to invest in compliance worldwide, and European Union regulations have been prepared years in advance.
