So, wading in here with a gut reaction and no nuance, he's charged with all these crimes because the platform he runs has them being organized between its users?

Who do we arrest if a crime is organized via phone call on T-Mobile's network, or via mail?

Is it a case of cooperation, where Telegram is completely refusing to help, or is it just a case of "encryption bad, privacy bad" from the French government?

A service provider is not responsible for the content people publish on their service. But if they knowingly allow criminals to publish and refuse to cooperate with courts and police, they become responsible.

But the level of cooperation required means they have to break eee to remain in the clear. Doing that means they lose almost all reason to exist in the first place. This is a no-win scenario.

What e2ee ? Telegram group chats are not encrypted.

Telegram chats are encrypted. (in transport)

Only "secret chats" are fully e2ee, though.
