Telegram CEO Durov Barred from Leaving France Amidst Criminal Probe

Pavel Durov, the boss of Telegram, isn't allowed to leave France right now.

This is because the French police are investigating if Telegram helped with bad things like money laundering.

He asked to go to the US for a meeting, but the police said no.

Durov was allowed to go to Dubai before, but now he must stay in France.

Durov says that France wants to control what people see on Telegram.

This has been happening because of all of the legal trouble Telegram is having.

This means Telegram must start cooperating with the government more and block bad stuff.
