Tengrinews.kz - The founder of the Telegram messenger, Pavel Durov, announced changes in the rules of the platform. He wrote about this on his channel.
"To further deter criminals from abusing Telegram Search, we have updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, ensuring they are consistent across the world. We’ve made it clear that the IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate our rules can be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests," Durov said.
According to Telegram founder, these measures aim to discourage criminals who "jeopardize the integrity of our platform."
Additionally, Durov mentioned that the moderation team has blocked all problematic content they were able to detect through search.
Recall: an investigation into Telegram was launched after Pavel Durov was detained last month by the French intelligence services.
On August 28, he was released on bail of 5 million euros in Paris. Durov was prohibited from leaving France and required to report to the police twice a week.
It was later revealed that he agreed to cooperate with law enforcement and began providing information that could be used to identify Telegram users. Additionally, it was disclosed that Pavel Durov's brother is being compelled to come to France to give testimony.
