Durov's arrest and French digital GULAG: Is there democracy in Europe?
A week ago, the businessman's private jet landed at an airport in France. The founder of the messenger was detained. The court ordered him a French vacation on bail of 5 million euros, and charged him with 6 criminal articles. Durov is accused of making Telegram a source for spreading fake news. It's a strange situation, but in 2020, when we said exactly the same thing, but not to Durov, but to the creators of certain now extremist Telegram channels - it was called an infringement on freedom of speech. What questions does Durov's case poses to the guardians of democracy and is there a word without control? Ekaterina Tikhomirova investigates.
