Elon Musk Comments On Telegram CEO Arrest: Now Arrest Zuckerberg Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and social network X, has demanded the arrest of Meta and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for promoting child abuse. He said in a post on social media on Sunday that if the government justifies the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, why has Mark Zuckerberg been left free? Musk said that child abuse is a big problem on Instagram.
“He is also accused of the same as Durov. But Zuckerberg has not been arrested yet. Because he has bowed down to the government. He provides them with important data by stealth and censors freedom of speech,” Musk accused.
He has also started a campaign on social media for Durov’s release. He has said that if everything continues like this, by the year 2030, people who share memes will be hanged in Europe. In connection with the child abuse case that Musk has claimed against Zuckerberg, Meta’s CEO apologized to the victim’s family in the US Parliament last February.
However, several lawsuits are going on in the US over Meta. Instagram has been accused of promoting child suicide and exploitation. Apart from this, several states in America have accused Facebook and Instagram of causing mental problems. Addiction to Instagram and Facebook is believed to be the reason for this.
Earlier, Durov was arrested at Bourget Airport in France on Saturday. He had reached there by his private plane. An arrest warrant had already been issued against him. Powell is accused of failing in content moderation.
As a result, criminal activities in the messaging app have been allowed to continue unhindered. Monitoring and removing objectionable or harmful content online is called content moderation.
Durov will appear in court with many charges such as terrorism, drugs, fraud, money laundering, and child sex material. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison. Durov, known as Russia’s Zuckerberg, created the social networking app when he was 22 years old.
He opened his headquarters in Dubai in 2014. He acquired French citizenship in 2021. The issue of his renouncing Russian citizenship has not yet been clarified. However, some Russian officials have expressed dissatisfaction with Durov’s arrest.
They said that Western countries have been showing a double character in the matter of freedom of expression. Maria Zakharova, spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said, “We closed Telegram in 2018, at that time 26 organizations such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and Freedom House condemned it. But now, after the arrest of Durov, no one has condemned it. “
Regarding the news of Durov’s arrest, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that he mistakenly thought that he would be welcomed abroad after escaping from Russia. It is mentioned that he told Durov before that if he does not support the law, there will be problems in other countries as well.
