Pavel Durov was detained at Le Bourget airport, outside Paris , on August 24, 2024 .

Four days later , he was released on a 5 million ( CHF4.7 million ) bail with restrictions that include not leaving France and reporting to the police twice a week.

He faces charges related to organised crime, including involvement in the distribution of drugs and child pornography.

His case could set a precedent on how social media platforms are held accountable.

Pavel Durov left Russia in 2014 after FSB state security service demanded Telegram reveal data on users involved in pro-Euromaidan protests.

Case will impact future regulation of social media platforms by holding an owner responsible for content on its platform.

Case may become a gamechanger in the law of digital platforms, expert says.
