Durov said Nicolas Lerner, the head of French Intelligence Services, approached him at Hôtel de Crillon and asked to conclude the content on the platform, a request He said he refused.
Durov argued that laws such as the Digital Services Act of the European Union are a Trojan horse for the censorship cloak as consumer and vehicle protection regulations to combat misinformation or promote online safety.
