Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has charged Pavel Durov, the founder of the Telegram messaging app, with facilitating terrorism. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The charges are based on suspicions that Durov's platform was used to coordinate terrorist activities. The FSB alleges that Telegram's encryption capabilities allowed terrorists to communicate and plan attacks.
Durov has previously resisted Russian censorship demands, advocating for Telegram's user privacy policies. This case has drawn international attention and sparked debates on digital rights and government surveillance.
