[Global Network Report] The arrest of Pavel Durov, the founder of the social software Telegram with nearly 1 billion users worldwide, in France continues to ferment. According to AFP, French President Macron spoke on the social platform X on Monday (26th) to deny that Durov's arrest was a "political decision." The European version of the "Politico News Network", which also reported the news, commented that Macron's remarks were the first public statement made by French officials on the matter after Durov's arrest.

"After the arrest of Pavel Durov, I saw false information about France," Macron wrote, saying that France is firmly committed to the spirit of freedom of expression and communication and will continue to do so.

He then changed the subject and said, "In a country ruled by law, freedom, whether on social media or in real life, is maintained within the legal framework to protect citizens and respect their fundamental rights."

"The judiciary should enforce the law in complete independence." Macron continued that the arrest of the founder of Telegram in France was "part of an ongoing judicial investigation. This is by no means a political decision. The judge should decide on this matter."
