Telegram founder Pavel Durov posted on his channel in response to French media reports that his detention in France last year "forced Telegram to comply with EU law", saying that the statement was untrue.
Durov pointed out that Telegram has been complying with EU regulations since the beginning, and it was only after August last year that the French police began to legally submit requests under the Digital Services Act (DSA), allowing the court to obtain the suspect's IP address in accordance with the law. Emphasizing that Telegram has long provided a clear way to connect, he questioned the reasons why the French police had not acted in accordance with the regulations.
