Recently, Pavel Durov, co-founder of Telegram, revealed something quite interesting: French intelligence agencies requested that Telegram review content related to politics, but he chose to refuse. As a messaging app known for its emphasis on privacy and freedom of expression, Telegram has always insisted on not acting as a “judge” in matters of speech. Durov’s decision not to comply with this request not only drew attention to the ongoing conflict between tech platforms and governments, but also prompted discussions about the delicate balance between free expression and regulatory pressures.

Pavel Durov, co-founder of Telegram, stated that French intelligence agencies asked him to remove posts related to the 2024 elections in Moldova, in exchange for favorable comments about the judges who tried to prosecute him. But he refused.
Durov said that initially, Telegram removed some posts that clearly violated its terms of service. However, due to political reasons, it refused to remove any other content. Durov wrote in a post on Telegram on Sunday:
Shortly after, Telegram received a second list of so-called “problematic” Moldovan channels. Unlike the first list, these channels were all legal and complied with our rules.
“The only thing they have in common is that their political views are not favored by the governments of France and Moldova. We refuse to comply with this request,” he continued.

随着科技平台和试图实施审查政策的州政府之间言论自由之争的展开,杜罗夫于 2024 年 8 月在法国被捕 ,以及他正在进行的案件的相关进展,加密行业纷纷支持他。
法国和欧洲当局此前要求 Telegram 审查政治内容
2025 年 5 月,杜罗夫指出了此前发生的一起事件,当时法国情报部门向 Telegram 施压,要求其审查罗马尼亚选举内容 ,但他也拒绝了。
他写道 :“你不能通过摧毁民主来‘捍卫民主’。你不能通过干预选举来‘打击选举干预’。你要么拥有言论自由和公平选举,要么没有。”
2024 年被捕后,他遭到了加密货币社区和人权活动人士的广泛谴责,他对法国政府和欧盟的方向提出了严厉批评。
他在六月份警告说,由于国家审查制度和现任政府的政策失败, 法国正逐渐走向社会崩溃 。
他还表示, Telegram 将退出包括法国在内的司法管辖区 ,以免通过交出加密密钥或在消息平台中建立后门进行国家监控而损害用户隐私。
杜罗夫曾多次警告,国家将对网络言论自由和隐私发起攻击,而这一警告在 2025 年达到了顶峰,当时欧盟提出了一项监控所有聊天信息(包括加密用户通信)的提议 ,该提议获得了欧盟 19 个成员国的支持。
