Let me know how was your first day of school or university studies... 🤔

Passage:

When Andy Warhol, one of the twentieth century's most influential artists, died his four-floor house was so full of items that the only rooms you could walk through were the kitchen and the bedroom. It turned out that Warhol had compulsive hoarding disorder, which is defined as the excessive accumulation of objects and a refusal to throw them away. But Warhol's case is not uncommon; around five per cent of Americans - nearly 15 million people - suffer from compulsive hoarding disorder. This disorder interferes with daily activities such as sleeping and cooking, and in an extreme form it can harm one's health, be a fire risk and even lead to death.

Messaging app Telegram has said its CEO Pavel Durov, who was detained in France on Saturday, has "nothing to hide".

Mr Durov was arrested at an airport north of Paris under a warrant for offences related to the app, according to officials.

The investigation is reportedly about insufficient moderation, with Mr Durov accused of failing to take steps to curb criminal uses of Telegram. The app is accused of failure to co-operate with law enforcement over drug trafficking, child sexual content and fraud.

Telegram said in a statement that "its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving".

"It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform," the app said.

Telegram said Mr Durov travels in Europe frequently and added that it abides by European Union laws, including the Digital Services Act, which aims to ensure a safe and accountable online environment.

"Almost a billion users globally use Telegram as means of communication and as a source of vital information," the app's statement read.

"We’re awaiting a prompt resolution of this situation. Telegram is with you all."

Judicial sources quoted by AFP news agency say Mr Durov's detention was extended on Sunday and could last as long as 96 hours.

Pavel Durov, 39, was born in Russia and now lives in Dubai, where Telegram is based. He holds citizenship of the United Arab Emirates and France.

Telegram is particularly popular in Russia, Ukraine and former Soviet Union states.

The app was banned in Russia in 2018, after a previous refusal by him to hand over user data. The ban was reversed in 2021.

Telegram is ranked as one of the major social media platforms after Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok and Wechat.

Mr Durov founded Telegram in 2013. He left Russia in 2014 after refusing to comply with government demands to shut down opposition communities on his VKontakte social media platform, which he sold.

Russia still regards Mr Durov as a Russian citizen. Its foreign ministry said the Russian embassy to France had "immediately taken the steps required in such cases to clarify the situation around the Russian citizen, despite not having received a request from the businessman's representatives".

Then embassy itself said it was seeking to "clarify the reasons for the detention and to provide for the protection of Mr Durov’s rights and facilitate consular access".

It added that the French authorities had not been co-operating with Russian officials.

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova posted on Telegram asking whether Western human rights NGOs would be silent on Mr Durov's arrest, after they criticised Russia’s decision to “create obstacles” to the work of Telegram in Russia in 2018.

On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was right to wait and see what the official accusations against Mr Durov were - if any - before commenting further, as Russia remains unsure what he was arrested for.

Telegram allows groups of up to 200,000 members, which critics have argued makes it easier for misinformation to spread, and for users to share conspiracist, neo-Nazi, paedophilic, or terror-related content.

In the UK, the app was scrutinised for hosting far-right channels that were instrumental in organising the violent disorder in English cities earlier this month.

Telegram did remove some groups, but overall its system of moderating extremist and illegal content is significantly weaker than that of other social media companies and messenger apps, say cybersecurity experts.
