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?

On the same disclaimer, I'm betting on the latter.

    Allegedly the former. By "allegedly", I mean that Telegram is definitely uncooperative in moderation of illegal content, the alleged part is that that is the motivation behind the arrest. I also read somewhere that he was accused of tapping into Macron's manager's communications, but I can't find the article and I don't know how reliable that statement is.

    So in turn... your comment is just as unreliable.
