Telegram Joins Child Safety Scheme, Marks Transformational Decision
Dec 4, 2024, 05:50 AM
Telegram, a messaging app known for its privacy features, has agreed to collaborate with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a UK-based organization focused on combating online child sexual abuse material (CSAM). This partnership marks a significant shift for Telegram, which has previously been criticized for being a platform where such content was shared. The IWF, which maintains a database of images related to child abuse and provides tools for tech platforms to automatically detect and remove this content, has described Telegram's decision as 'transformational' and a crucial first step in a 'much longer journey' to enhance child safety online.
