Telegram founder and chief executive Pavel Durov said Monday that the messaging platform had removed more “problematic content” and would take a more proactive approach to complying with government requests. The announcement comes weeks after his arrest in France on charges of failing to act against criminals using the app.
Durov – who holds Russian, French, United Arab Emirates, and St Kitts and Nevis passports – initially criticised his arrest, but he has since announced steps appearing to bow to Paris’s demands. On 6 September, he said Telegram would alter its “people nearby” feature to present users with “legitimate businesses” rather than “bots and scammers”.
