One of the core reasons why Telegram is so popular among users is its respect and protection of user privacy. Even in authoritarian countries, the platform is committed to allowing citizens to have a space for free speech on Telegram without fear of encountering power agencies. Censorship and Punishment.
However, as early as early this month, when Durov spoke for the first time after his release, we seemed to be able to see that Telegram may need to make concessions to supervision if it wants to survive. At that time, Durov said:
The sudden increase in the number of Telegram users to 950 million has caused the platform to grow too quickly, making it easier for criminals to abuse our platform. That's why I've made it a personal goal to ensure that we improve significantly in this area. We have started this process internally and I will share more details on the progress with you soon.
The issue of coordinating privacy protection and law enforcement requirements has long been in conflict, and the scale is difficult to grasp. It will take more time to observe how things will develop under regulatory pressure in the future.
Yesterday, Durov posted on his Telegram personal channel that the Telegram team has completely reorganized its search function to prevent this powerful function from being abused by illegal parties:
Telegram’s search feature is more powerful than other messaging apps as it allows users to find public channels and bots. Unfortunately, this feature has been abused by people who violate our Terms of Service to sell illegal goods.
Specific reorganization measures include:
Use AI (artificial intelligence) technology to make Telegram search function more secure. Update the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to ensure they are consistent globally. Durov said: We have made it clear that the IP addresses and phone numbers of people who violate our rules may be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to lawful requests.
In the end, Durov concluded that these actions should have the effect of deterring crime and conveying a desire to move towards compliance: Telegram searches are designed to help users find friends and explore news, not to promote illegal goods. We will not let bad actors compromise the integrity of our platform for our nearly billion users.
