Telegram Arrest Ignites Debate Over Tech Executives Immunity

Pavel Durov, who founded the online communications tool Telegram, was arrested in France as part of an investigation into the platform’s complicity in crimes including possession and distribution of child sexual abuse imagery.Internet company executives rarely faced personal liability in Western democracies for what took place on their platforms. But as law enforcement agencies, regulators and policymakers ramp up scrutiny of online platforms and exchanges, they are increasingly considering when to hold company leaders directly responsible. That shift was punctuated by Mr. Durov’s arrest over the weekend, raising questions over whether tech executives like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg also risk being arrested when they next set foot on European soil.For now, tech executives have little to fear, with cases like Mr. Durov’s likely to be outliers, experts said. Historically, companies have been held responsible for a platform’s transgressions, rather than individuals. And legally, the bar is high in the United States and Europe to prosecute individuals for activities at their companies, especially with U.S. laws like Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects internet platforms from being responsible for harmful speech.Last year, Britain passed an online safety law that can hold tech leaders personally responsible if their company is made aware of content that risks child safety and systematically fails to remove it. Even Section 230 doesn’t apply to some forms of outlawed speech, such as child sexual abuse.“There’s a 30-year arc here,” Mr. McIntyre said. Since the 1990s, he said, tech executives have not typically been held responsible for what users did on their platforms, though that approach is now being questioned by those who want stronger accountability.

Millionaire CEO Slammed For Private Firefighter Plea

A Los Angeles millionaire CEO sparked outrage for a 'tone deaf' post asking for help from 'private firefighters' to protect his Pacific Palisades mansion while emergency services scrambled to help residents as the area burned to the ground.Keith Wasserman, co-founder of real estate investment firm Gelt Venture Partners, posted on X pleading for help as a massive wildfire tore through the hillside.'Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you,' he wrote, before receiving backlash from what he called 'trolls'.'Incredible nerve,' wrote commenter Sam Vance. 'His family is evacuated and he's trying to hire private firefighters to risk their lives to save a home he most certainly has insured. Incredibly tone deaf.'Another user, going by Jacquie, weighed in: 'If you find yourself tweeting for private firefighters to protect your property, you should probably question what you have become as a human being.'User Renny added: 'So you're suggesting that potentially lifesaving resources (even if 'private') should be diverted to save your house because you're rich while tens of thousands of people try to evacuate?' Mr Wasserman clapped back that he had left 'hours ago', noting that he was only 'trying to protect homes'.The enormous blaze has already forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people, some of whom abandoned their cars and fled on foot to safety with roads blocked.California governor Gavin Newsom said 'many structures' have already been 'destroyed' in Pacific Palisades. Officials have not given an exact number, but said about 30,000 residents are under evacuation orders and 13,000 structures under threat.
