> If telegrams encryption is so bad why is Pavel Durov under arrest?

He's under arrest precisely because it is bad enough that Telegram is in a position to share data with law enforcement, but it chooses not to.

Or maybe he is sharing with the other guys.

  • Possibly so, but I doubt that that's why he's currently being held.

    It's probably not enough for French authorities to know that some other country's equivalent is getting a copy of all messages and metadata when they want it themselves.
