"Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act — its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving," Telegram said in a statement on the arrest.
"Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe," it said. "It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform."
Durov, who has dual French and United Arab Emirates citizenship, was arrested as part of a preliminary police investigation into allegedly allowing a wide range of crimes due to a lack of moderators on Telegram and a lack of cooperation with police, a third French police source said.
Bold mine. And anymore that kind of excuse automatically makes me think "So he won't roll over for you?"

Absurdity is no protection from the tyrannical.
When a manufacturer can be successfully sued because someone used their product to kill innocents, absurdity has been approved as reasonable.
Truth is no defense, insanity is called good.
