Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said the social messaging platform has exceeded its legal obligations in moderation of content and crime prevention.
In a declaration of March 17 on Telegram, Durov said::
“”Regarding moderation, cooperation and the fight against crime, for years, the telegram has known not only, but has exceeded its legal obligations. »»
His comments arise while the French authorities continue to study the role of the platform in the fight against illegal activities.
With nearly a billion users worldwide, Telegram ranks among the most used messaging applications.
However, the platform was faced with an in-depth examination on its content moderation approach, resulting in Durov’s arrest in August 2024.
At the time, the French authorities said that the messaging application had been complacent in the fight against criminal activity on its platform.
Officials allegedly alleged that the application was not enough to prevent illicit activities such as children’s exploitation, drug trafficking and online hatred crimes.
The judgment led the telegram to implement more strict content moderation policies. The platform has updated its FAQ section to reflect a more proactive position on the declaration of illegal content.
The messaging application also indicated that it had prioritized the evolution of eradiments of sexual abuse for children (CSAM), terrorist propaganda and fraudulent diets of its platform.

Despite the current case, Durov expressed his relief to be at home. He also thanked the world’s world user base for his support during his legal test, declaring that the vast community of the platform remains resilient in the face of challenges.
Durov said:
“I am also deeply grateful for the millions of people around the world who have shown their support throughout this unexpected trip – it has mean a lot. There is nothing that our community of billions of dollars cannot overcome. »»
