Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has been indicted and barred from leaving France after authorities say he failed to prevent illegal activity on his messaging app.

Durov was arrested Saturday and released after posting a $5 million Euro bail. The case could be the first in which a tech executive is held responsible for what users post on a social platform. Durov is facing up to 10 years in prison if found guilty.
