According to BlockBeats, Telegram founder Pavel Durov said that Telegram's search function is powerful but has been abused to sell illegal goods.

In the past few weeks, the review team has used AI technology to improve search safety, and all problematic content has been inaccessible. If you find illegal content, please report it through @SearchReport.

To prevent criminals from abusing the search feature, Telegram updated its terms of service and privacy policy to explicitly disclose the IP addresses and phone numbers of offending users upon legitimate requests.

These measures are designed to protect the integrity of the user platform and prevent the promotion of illegal products.
