In his blog, Pavel Durov noted that the 🔍search in Telegram is much more powerful than in other messaging apps, as it allows users to find public channels and bots. 💪However, he mentioned that some users have violated the platform’s Terms of Service by using this feature to sell illegal goods. He also emphasized that over the past few weeks, the moderation team, using artificial intelligence, has significantly improved the safety of the search feature. All problematic content that was identified is now inaccessible. If users still come across unsafe or illegal materials, Durov urges them to report it via @SearchReport. 🚫Additionally, he mentioned that to further prevent abuse, Telegram has updated its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Now, IP addresses and phone numbers of violators can be shared with authorities upon valid legal requests. ☝️Pavel Durov stressed that these measures are aimed at preventing criminals from using Telegram for illegal purposes. The search feature is meant for communication and news discovery, not for promoting illegal goods.
