Telegram has been feeling the heat lately to tidy up its platform, especially after its founder Pavel Durov got himself in trouble in France over some sketchy content being shared on the messaging app.
### Massive Cleanup Operation
In response to the pressure, Telegram declared war on harmful content in September. And guess what? They’ve already kicked out a whopping 15.4 million groups and channels related to fraud and terrorism in 2024. And how did they do it? Oh, just with some fancy-schmancy AI tools. NBD.
### New Moderation Page
To keep everyone in the loop, Telegram recently unveiled a moderation page. It’s like their way of saying, “Look, we’re working hard to keep things clean around here.” According to this page, there’s been a noticeable uptick in enforcement since Durov’s little run-in with the law back in August.
### The Durov Situation
As for Durov, he’s still dealing with his legal troubles in France. But don’t worry, he’s currently chillin’ out on a €5 million bail.
