- helsinkiandrew 2y agoThat post looks like a goldmine for a French prosecution lawyer gathering material to bring up in court. He acknowledges there are atleast millions of harmful posts and channels added daily, the platform is being abused by criminals and they're not doing enough. > We are prepared to leave markets that aren’t compatible with our principles, because we are not doing this for money > All of that does not mean Telegram is perfect. Even the fact that authorities could be confused by where to send requests is something that we should improve > We take down millions of harmful posts and channels every day > Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform. That’s why I made it my personal goal to ensure we significantly improve things in this regard
