Telegram is implementing new safety and privacy measures after CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest in France over suspected criminal activity on the platform. Durov, released on $5.56 million bail, acknowledged the app’s rapid user growth facilitated criminal abuse. Telegram will now share IP addresses and phone numbers of rule-violating users with authorities and publish quarterly transparency reports. Enhanced moderation, including AI, aims to remove illegal content from public search features. Users are encouraged to report unsafe content via @SearchReport.
