Spain has accused Telegram of spreading misinformation after the platform's founder, Pavel Durov, sent an in-app message to all users in Spain criticising draft social media legislation proposed by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
"Do we want a technology that normalises and amplifies deception? That transforms privacy into a commodity? A society where a techno-oligarch can interfere, as one of them did yesterday, in the mobile phones of millions of citizens to tell them lies?" Sanchez said on Thursday.
