Durov explained: “Telegram moderators and AI tools remove millions of clearly harmful content from our public platform every day. But the solution to the problem of war reporting is rarely obvious.”
He noted that while it can be tempting to take emotional action in difficult situations, it’s important to consider the unique nature of Telegram compared to other social platforms. Unlike apps that promote content algorithmically, Telegram users only receive the content they subscribe to. According to Durov, this eliminates the possibility of a significant increase in propaganda on Telegram channels. On the contrary, they often serve as a valuable source of first-hand information for researchers, journalists, and fact-checkers.
In conclusion, Durov stated that the destruction of this source of information could worsen an already difficult situation.
