Telegram founder: French parliament rejects encrypted communications backdoor bill, Telegram will never compromise user privacy

Odaily News Telegram founder Pavel Durov said in a post that the French National Assembly has rejected a bill that would require communication apps to set up law enforcement backdoors, preventing France from becoming the first country to legislate against end-to-end encryption. He stressed that the backdoor mechanism threatens the privacy and security of all users, and Telegram would rather withdraw from a market than compromise on encryption protection. (Cointelegraph )
