    From translating TFA:

    Justice considers that the absence of moderation, cooperation with law enforcement and the tools offered by Telegram (disposable number, cryptocurrencies, etc.) makes it complicit in drug trafficking, child crime offenses and fraud.

    Same reason Russia wanted to arrest him, failure to do the government’s bidding.

      By that logic we should arrest all Car company CEOs for being complicit in crime lol, it’s not exactly his choice what people do with his product

        Not really comparable because the illegal content is hosted and distributed through his servers. Which is why most sites are moderated to a degree. This dude basically said “fuck off” whenever takedowns were issued. It’s hardly a surprise that he’s been arrested.

          The analogy works if you lease or rent.

          Rent a car, commit a crime, boom — rental company is on the hook apparently. Moronic.

            This is more like arresting the getaway driver, not the car manufacturer.

              Except the getaway driver is just a cabbie who will drive anyone who gets in. He didn’t know he was part of a heist.

              Would you hold the CEO of lyft responsible if one of their self-driving cars were used in a heist?
