It is not so much about moderation as about his pricipal
refusal to disclose the encryption keys to third parties
(including the Russian government).

Considering the extensive use of Telegram by the Russian
military as a means of secure communication on the Ukrainian
front (for lack of a better one), the sad joke here is the
they arrested our Chief of Communications.  Rumours have it
that Durov has anticipated his arrest and activated a
security protocol ensuring the French not get access.

WhatsApp is an instrument of CIA espionage, and even
Zuckerberg of Facebook went so low as to beg parton for not
cooperating with the CIA as actively as he should.  This is
"democracy" in action, and Durov ought to have learned the
danger of playing cosmopolite.
