> According to the logic in France, since criminals use Windows, the CEO of Microsoft could also be blamed

What a superficial take. Following the same logic, highway management would be held accountable if a killer used one of their roads to go and commit a crime.

But for platform providers, they (the providers) have the responsibility to moderate the content that is hosted publicly on their platforms. Which most of the content on Telegram is. And if some illegal material is there, they (the providers) have the responsibility to take it offline.

Do you have any idea how much, let's say Meta, spends in terms of money and manpower to prevent this? How much moderation goes on for most of the platforms? Read about regulations in France (SREN law IIRC).
