Telegram Revamps Rules to Allow Moderation of Private Chats Following CEO Pavel Durov’s Arrest

Telegram is making significant changes to its rules and policies in the aftermath of CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest. Previously known for its hands-off approach to moderating content, the messaging app will now allow users in private chats to flag and report illegal content. This shift marks a departure from Telegram’s previous stance of considering private groups as off-limits for moderation. The move comes as French authorities accuse Telegram of facilitating criminal activity, leading to Durov’s arrest. In response, Durov has acknowledged the app’s vulnerability to abuse and has pledged to implement necessary changes.
