Telegram Founder Rejects EU Censorship Demand, Upholds Free Speech

Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, has reaffirmed his commitment to free speech by refusing an EU country’s request to censor content related to the upcoming Romanian elections. The undisclosed nation, hinted to be France through Durov’s use of a baguette emoji, sought to silence conservative voices on the platform.
This standoff highlights the ongoing tension between governments and digital platforms over content moderation. Durov’s defiance underscores Telegram’s resistance to external pressures, positioning it as a bastion of uncensored communication in an increasingly regulated digital landscape.
