Can’t comment on csam but telegram has and does take down channels/accounts for many reasons including as “light” as copyright infringement.



The fact that it has reporting mechanisms, doesn't it uses them.

There have been govt commissions in the UK, France, the EU, and the Netherlands about getting Telegram to act on their reports.

All of this while Durov is bragging in Russian press that he doesn't need more than 3 moderators.

If you're not aware of what's really happening here, I'd recommend not commenting.

This guy is a legit a-hole. There's bots on Telegram where you enter women's names or social media URLs and you get back if someone ever posted revenge porn about her. Those bots remain online until a journalist covers them. Unless the company is publicly humiliated, no Telegram channel is ever taken down. Telegram has been the go-to platform for hosting malware and stolen data for half a decade. Nothing... NOTHING has ever been taken down even if it's a blatant TOS violation. So yeah, fuck Durov!
