English language story from Reuters (no paywall) for anyone that doesn't speak French...
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/telegram-messaging-app-ceo-pavel-durov-arrested-france-tf1-tv-says-2024-08-24/
"criticism from X owner Elon Musk who said that free speech in Europe was under attack."
Comes from the guy who bans certain words and anything negative about him on X. Oh the irony.
