Telegram CEO Rejects EU Censorship Demand Ahead of Romanian Elections

Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, publicly resisted pressure from a Western European government—implied to be France—to censor conservative political content on the platform prior to Romania’s presidential elections. The messaging app’s CEO affirmed Telegram’s commitment to free expression, refusing to block channels or restrict user access.
Durov’s stance highlights growing tensions between tech platforms and regulatory demands in politically sensitive periods. The incident underscores Telegram’s positioning as a bastion of uncensored communication, a principle that has fueled its adoption in crypto circles for community coordination and market discussion.
