00:00Fact-checking claims that France asked Telegram to censor Romanian Conservatives.
00:09Telegram founder Pavel Durov has claimed that France's intelligence services
00:14asked him to ban Conservative Voices in Romania from his messaging app
00:20ahead of last Sunday's presidential run-off.
00:23In a post on social platform X seen 30 million times,
00:27Dusrov additives the request was made personally to him
00:31by Nicolas Lerner, the French intelligence chief,
00:35that he refused to obey.
00:37The allegations have been categorically denied by the French authorities.
00:41In a statement, the French Foreign Ministry
00:43described Dusrov's claims as
00:44a «diversionary manoeuvre from the real threats of interference targeting Romania».
00:49But despite France's denial,
00:52the unconfirmed claims have spread virally online,
00:55amplified by Elon Musk
