Founder of Telegram: French Parliament Rejects Encrypted Communication Backdoor Bill, Telegram Will Never Compromise User Privacy

Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated that the French National Assembly has rejected a bill that would have required communication apps to implement law enforcement backdoors, preventing France from becoming the first country to legislate against end-to-end encryption. He emphasized that backdoor mechanisms threaten the privacy and security of all users, and Telegram would rather exit a market than compromise on encryption protection. (Cointelegraph)
