On August 24, France arrested Pavel Durov, the CEO and founder of Telegram, once known as the ‘Russian Zuckerberg’. Telegram, a messaging app with 900 million users, is known for its unfiltered content.

France, however, says that the lack of moderators is enabling the spread of criminal activity. So, who is Pavel Durov?
