Telegram will not restrict the freedoms of Romanian users or block their political channels," Pavel Durov wrote on Telegram, accompanying his post with an emoji of baguette which might hint at France. Durov was arrested at an airport near Paris last August and subsequently placed under formal investigation, with a ban on leaving France. In March he returned to Dubai.
