Telegram has come under unprecedented pressure to clean up its platform this year, after its founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France and faces charges over allegedly malicious content shared on his messaging app.
After first announcing the layoffs in September, Telegram now says it has removed 15.4 million groups and channels related to dangerous content such as fraud and terrorism by 2024, noting that the effort is “enhanced by advanced AI measurement tools.”
The announcement is part of a newly launched Telegram rating page created to better communicate its testing efforts to the public, according to a post on Durov’s Telegram channel. According to the Telegram rating page, there is a significant increase in enforcement after Durov’s arrest in August:
Durov’s French case is pending, but he is currently out on 5 million Euro bail.
