🔎 Search on Telegram is more powerful than in other messaging apps because it allows users to find public channels & bots. Unfortunately, this feature has been abused by people who violated our Terms of Service to sell illegal goods.
💪Over the last few weeks, a dedicated team of moderators leveraging AI, has made Telegram Search much safer. All the problematic content we identified in Search is no longer accessible. If you still manage to find something unsafe or illegal in Telegram Search, please report it to us via @SearchReport
🚫To further deter criminals from abusing Telegram Search we have updated our Terms of Service & Privacy Policy ensuring they are consistent across the world. We’ve made it clear that the IP addresses & phone numbers of those who violate our rules can be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests.
☝️These measures should discourage criminals. Telegram Search is meant for finding friends & discovering news, not promoting illegal goods. We won't let bad actors jeopardize the integrity of our platform for almost a billion users.

Messaging app Telegram will provide users’ IP addresses & phone numbers to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests, according to Chief Executive Officer Pavel Durov.
The platform changed its terms of service to deter criminals from abusing it, Durov said in a post on Telegram Monday.
The move comes less than a month after his arrest in France, where he faces charges of alleged complicity in the spread of child sexual abuse materials.
The move represents a marked difference from Telegram’s approach to government requests for data & its reputation for lax moderation.
The United Arab Emirates-based platform has been notoriously non-responsive to takedown requests from governments around the world, and often ignored requests for information about suspected criminals.
The app, using artificial intelligence and a team of moderators, has now begun to conceal problematic content from its search results as part of its efforts prevent misuse, Durov said.
French prosecutors in August charged the Russian-born Durov in connection with alleged crimes committed on the app. The case portrays the billionaire CEO as the head of a company that refused to provide law enforcement with data to assist legal wiretaps on suspected criminals.
Under Durov, Telegram has drawn the ire of governments ranging from the European Union to authoritarian regimes in Russia and Iran. It has been used by protesters seeking to organize against the authorities, while also becoming a hub for conspiracy theorists & extremists.
White supremacists in the US, for instance, for years have used Telegram to coordinate attacks on power infrastructure.
The Kremlin in 2018 attempted to block Telegram, only to reverse course two years later after failing to shut down the service. When the ban was dropped, the Russian regulator said Durov had signaled that he would help counter extremism and terrorism.
Durov’s arrest has led to a number of policy changes at Telegram.
Earlier this month, Telegram disabled new media uploads, which Durov said was aimed at stopping bots & scammers.
