Why is Telegram such a headache for France?

Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram, was arrested today in France, there are different charges against him.
While it would be interesting to discuss the investigation itself, putting the censorship arguments aside, (I personally use Telegram a lot to keep track of the news) I just would like to highlight how Telegram represented over the last years a national security concern for the French.
Russian mercenaries, obviously, use different platforms, but Telegram played for them an important role in accelerating the deterioration of France's military posture, especially in Africa.
I think it's important to take it into consideration when wondering why the French would get involved.

A few things to keep in mind:
- The biggest Wagner channels are on Telegram
- In general, the best way to assess if a disinformation campaign is taking place, is to check if multiple channels that are pro-Wagner or so have relayed it
- Many people use Telegram as their source of information

In Guangdong province, people tested positive for Chikungunya virus are forced to be quarantined in mosquito nets.

Why translation is important. Although we have spiffy translation software on hand, accent and dialects are often hard to interpret by current technology and it will result in a situation like this.

Even with a life jacket on, it is difficult to escape from the pool at the bottom of the waterfall, which has a drop of just one meter.
This shows how dangerous the river can be.
So what should be done in such a situation?

Under what theory of the constitution does a single marxist judge in San Francisco have the same executive power as the Commander-in-Chief elected by the whole nation to lead the executive branch?
No such theory exists. It is merely naked judicial tyranny.

Interesting take from a Chinese netizen:

The objective fact is this: Setting aside the powerful and wealthy elite, consider an ordinary middle-class family’s pet dog in major Chinese cities such as Beijing,
