…The neo-#Nazis …have made the app their headquarters for posting #hate & planning violence.
“Shut It Down,” one person posted in a #WhiteSupremacist chat on Tues, hours after #Telegram founder #PavelDurov announced he would begin sharing some users’ identifying information w/ #law enforcement.
With >900M users around the globe, Telegram has been both revered & reviled for its hands-off approach to moderating posted #content.
The platform made headlines this summer when French authorities arrested #PavelDurov, seeking to hold him responsible for illegal activity that has been conducted or facilitated on the platform — including organized #DrugTrafficking, #ChildPornography & #fraud.
Durov … acknowledged that #criminals have abused the platform & promised in a #Telegram post to “significantly improve things in this regard.”
@Nonilex #PavelDurov is willing to whatever is necessary in order to get the West to protect him from the Kremlin is what it seems like to me.
