A French court has denied Pavel Durov, co-founder of Telegram, permission to travel to Norway for the Oslo Freedom Forum. Durov, who faces six charges in France related to Telegram’s alleged misuse, will deliver his keynote speech remotely. The Human Rights Foundation criticized the decision, calling it an unnecessary restriction on free expression.

Durov claims French intelligence pressured him to censor political content on Telegram. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between tech platforms and government oversight. No direct cryptocurrency market impact is expected, but the case underscores regulatory risks for blockchain-based communication tools.
