Jan 18, 2025, 11:45 AM
Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, has acknowledged the severity of allegations against the messaging platform during his court hearings in France. Charged with enabling organized crime, Durov admitted to realizing the gravity of the situation during his custody. He emphasized that Telegram was not created for criminals, but acknowledged that the platform's increasing user base has led to a rise in criminal use. Durov committed to enhancing Telegram's content moderation processes, stating that the platform removes between 15 to 20 million user accounts monthly for violating laws. He also mentioned that Telegram has been cooperating with law enforcement, providing data on over 10,000 users globally in the first half of 2024. Durov expressed personal disgust at the criminal activities, which included 15 specific cases. Despite announcing its first annual profit in December, Telegram is burdened with a $2 billion debt.
