The co-founder of the Telegram messenger Pavel Durov said that the actions of French bureaucrats who advance their careers at the expense of the country's people will minimize investments in the tech sector, which took decades to attract.
„At this point, any tech company in France can be declared a „criminal group“. "A decade of efforts to attract investment in technology are being destroyed by a few bureaucrats who are advancing their careers and achieving political goals - at the expense of the French people," he wrote on his X page.
Earlier, X, owned by American billionaire Elon Musk, announced that French authorities had opened an investigation against it "for alleged manipulation of algorithms and alleged fraudulent data mining." X called the allegations of algorithm manipulation false.
