Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said that it had charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with facilitating terrorist activities and had issued an international warrant for his arrest.⁣
⁣
The FSB said that the charges related to Telegram's failure to remove material "used by Ukrainian special services and by terrorist and extremist organisations to prepare and coordinate acts of sabotage and terrorism, mass killings, and cyber-fraud operations within the Russian Federation."⁣
⁣
Soon afterwards, Telegram's official account on X posted an image of Durov making an obscene gesture. There was no other immediate comment from Durov or Telegram.⁣
⁣
Telegram has not immediately commented on the allegations.⁣
⁣
Telegram, an encrypted messenger app founded in 2013, says it has more than 1 billion users, and is widely used on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. ⁣
