As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for technology trends, I’ve been following Telegram closely since its inception. I remember the days when it was hailed as a privacy-focused messaging app, a beacon of free speech in an increasingly surveillance-centric world. However, recent events have made me question whether the app has lost its way.
Telegram has recently changed its position regarding the unauthorized usage of its messaging service, following the arrest of its CEO, Pavel Durov, in France on charges of neglecting to regulate illegal content.
Starting from Thursday evening, the once unrestricted texting platform has expanded the authority of moderators to oversee private conversations. For the first time, users can now report suspicious content within these private chats for further examination, as stated in an update on Telegram’s Frequently Asked Questions page. Previously, this platform had considered private groups as out-of-bounds.
A subtle change in policy could potentially alter Telegram’s perceived role as a platform for illegal activities, which French authorities have accused it of supporting. Last month, Durov was detained in France due to allegations that criminal activity was tolerated on the app. However, Durov denies these charges and is currently required to stay in France until the trial concludes.
Previously on Thursday, Durov admitted via a post on Telegram that the swift expansion of the app had facilitated misuse by criminals. He pledged to implement modifications in response.
