Ah, yes! Because nothing says 'freedom of expression' like arresting the CEO of a communication platform... in the name of protecting communication. Truly, France has mastered the delicate art of innovation—where ‘entrepreneurship’ means innovating new ways to jail innovators.1/2
I have seen false information regarding France following the arrest of Pavel Durov.
France is deeply committed to freedom of expression and communication, to innovation, and to the spirit of entrepreneurship. It will remain so.
In a state governed by the rule of law, freedoms are upheld within a legal framework, both on social media and in real life, to protect citizens and respect their fundamental rights.
It is up to the judiciary, in full independence, to enforce the law.
The arrest of the president of Telegram on French soil took place as part of an ongoing judicial investigation. It is in no way a political decision. It is up to the judges to rule on the matter.
@SenSanders Absurdity is having the ceiling as high as $184,5k... why pay for social security when the benefits are capped — if one is making more money it would be absurd to ask them (for example) to pay more for car insurance for same model of car with same benefits etc
