Durov calls France ‘not free’ as French agents search Musk’s office

The Russian tech mogul has accused Paris of a broader crackdown on digital privacy and media freedom

Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov has condemned France, saying it is “not a free country” after a raid on Elon Musk's X offices in Paris.

The search was part of a probe into the social media platform’s Grok AI and its alleged generation of sexualized deepfake images of women and children, and comes amid a broader crackdown on X across the EU.
