Founder of Telegram: French media report that Telegram was forced to comply with European rules is false

Odaily Planet Daily News: Telegram founder Pavel Durov wrote on his personal channel that "French media reports that my detention in France last summer 'ultimately' forced Telegram to comply with European rules. This is purely fabricated. Telegram has always complied with EU laws. After August last year, the French police sent a request to Telegram in the legal manner specified in the EU Digital Services Law, and the French court therefore obtained the IP address of the suspect from Telegram, long before I was detained in France.
