France has charged Telegram's founder

France has charged Telegram's founder with failing to stop illegal activity on his platform, other tech bosses may have reason to weigh the wisdom of jetting into Europe themselves. French lawyers said that "unprecedented" for an individual to be held criminally liable for what users chose to do on a tech platform.

Chat apps like Telegram which boasts having more than 900 million users were almost certainly hosting illegal content. Digital rights lawyer also said that Telegram is characterised by extremely limited cooperation, if any at all. The particular position of Telegram suggests other tech bosses do not have anything immediately to worry about.
