French Parliament Rejects Bill on Encryption Backdoors

According to Odaily, Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced that the French National Assembly has rejected a proposed bill that would have required communication applications to implement law enforcement backdoors. This decision prevents France from becoming the first country to legislate against end-to-end encryption. Durov emphasized that backdoor mechanisms pose a threat to the privacy and security of all users. He stated that Telegram would rather exit a market than compromise on encryption protection.
