Telegram Brings Changes After Co-Founder’s Arrest

  • Telegram has introduced a report button, allowing users to flag any illicit activity.

  • The platform also updated its FAQs to highlight its security features.

  • Pavel Durov spoke for the first time since his arrest and called out law enforcement agencies.

Following the recent arrest of Russian-French entrepreneur and Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov, the social messaging platform has revised its “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQs) to clarify how it handles illicit content and defend its stance on illegal activity.

Changes to FAQ on Illegal Content

Telegram modified its response to the FAQ: “There’s illegal content on Telegram. How do I take it down?” The previous answer stated that group chats on the platform are private and Telegram doesn’t censor them. The updated response now states:

“All Telegram chats and group chats are private amongst their participants. We do not process any requests related to them.”

Telegram also added a “Report” button that allows users to flag content for various reasons, including spam, violence, child abuse, illegal drugs, personal details, pornography, or others.
