Telegram deleted 15 million dangerous channels and groups using artificial intelligence in 2024
In 2024, Telegram used artificial intelligence to remove 15 million suspicious groups and channels associated with malicious content.
Here's What We Know
The platform has been under a lot of pressure since the arrest of its founder Pavel Durov in France, where he was charged with spreading malicious content through the messenger.
Following the announcement of the crackdown in September, Telegram said that 15.4 million channels and groups associated with fraud and terrorism had been removed in 2024. This was made possible by the introduction of innovative moderation tools based on artificial intelligence.
These measures are part of a new moderation page on the platform created to improve communication with the public. According to the page, the activity to remove dangerous content has increased significantly since Durov's arrest in August.
Durov's French case is still pending, but he is currently out on €5 million bail.
