Facebook owner Meta says it complies with law enforcement requests for data if they are legally compelled. It says both Messenger and WhatsApp are encrypted, meaning third-parties — including Meta — are not be able to access the data.
Durov, 39, is best known for founding the social networking site VK (VKontakte) and the messaging app Telegram.
He created Telegram in 2013 with his brother Nikolai but fled Russia in 2014 after he refused to hand over encrypted user data to Russian officials or silence communities opposing the government. He later went on to sell that data.
Musk, a staunch free speech advocate, defended the Telegram creator, who was arrested over his app’s failure to moderate content and prevent criminal activity, according to authorities.

In 2018, Russia blocked Telegram when the app refused to comply with a court order and share its encryption keys, though the ban was lifted in 2020.
The app, which emphasizes users’ privacy, has drawn criticism from many governments for allowing militants and organized criminals to discreetly communicate.
