Republican Donald Trump has fallen behind Democrat Kamala Harris, 48%–43%. The results show an eight-point shift in the presidential contest from late June when Trump had an almost four-point lead over President Joe Biden in the poll. Significant changes in some important demographic groups that have historically been critical for Democrats, such as young people and Hispanic and Black voters, contributed to the vice president's slim lead. The largest shift has been that, among those earning less than $20,000 annually, a three-point lead for Trump over Biden in June has grown to a 23-point lead for Harris over Trump in August.

Telegram boss Pavel Durov that has fired a warning shot to global tech titans was started by a small cybercrime unit within the Paris prosecutor's office, led by 38-year-old Johanna Brousse. The arrest of Durov, 39, last Saturday marks a significant shift in how some global authorities may seek to deal with tech chiefs reluctant to police illegal content on their platforms. The arrest signalled the mettle of the J3 cybercrime unit, but the true test of its ambitions will be whether Brousse can secure a conviction based on a largely untested legal argument, lawyers said. In an unprecedented move against a major tech CEO, prosecutors argued Durov bears responsibility for the alleged illegality on his platform, placing him under formal investigation on organized crime charges. He is suspected of complicity in running an online platform that allows the posting of child sex abuse images, drug trafficking and fraud.

Durov is now considered a tech icon as the founder and CEO of Telegram. The CEO of one of the most well-known instant messaging services was arrested in Paris, and this caused a stir and mayhem among people all across the world. Telegram has experienced exponential growth over time; but the secretive platform has suffered from backlash and has a negative reputation with governments due to its reckless efforts at content moderation and its purported role in supporting propaganda, terrorism, and misinformation.
