Telegram Strengthens Moderation Against Child Sexual Abuse Content Amid Legal Scrutiny
Pavel Dourov, founder of Telegram, has pledged to enhance content moderation on the platform in response to legal challenges in France. Collaborating with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), Telegram will now utilize advanced tools to better detect and remove child sexual abuse material. Since 2022, the platform has faced thousands of reports of such content, leading to significant removals. Telegram continues to navigate legal pressures while striving to uphold user privacy, having recently adjusted its policy to comply with judicial requests beyond terrorism cases.
