Telegram founder detained in France, raising new controversies over communication privacy and law enforcement demands.

Recently, French law enforcement decided to extend the detention period of the founder of the instant messaging application Telegram. This move stems from accusations that the app may be exploited by criminals, thereby fostering certain illegal activities. As the helm of Telegram, this Russian-born entrepreneur has been forced to remain in France due to the controversies arising from his company's products.

This incident has sparked discussions about the responsibility boundaries of communication tools. On one hand, protecting user privacy is a core value proposition of instant messaging applications like Telegram; on the other hand, law enforcement agencies have a legitimate need to maintain social order and combat crime. Finding a balance between these two has become a major challenge in the current field of internet governance.

This matter also highlights the challenges that technology companies face in global operations. Different countries and regions often hold different positions on issues such as data privacy and information control, which forces multinational internet companies to cautiously respond to various demands during their business expansion.

Privacy is more important than anything else, or it will turn into another Prism Gate.
