Telegram CEO Announces "Changes in Telegram's content moderation practices"

Telegram has recently faced significant criticism for its perceived inadequacies in moderating content on its platform. In response, Pavel Durov, Telegram’s CEO, has announced plans to address these concerns by potentially removing features that have been exploited for illegal activities. Durov was arrested last week and questioned regarding allegations of fraud, money laundering, and facilitating the distribution of child pornography-related content.

Durov addressed Telegram users, stating, “While 99.999% of our users are not involved in crime, the small fraction of 0.001% who are creating a negative image for the entire platform and putting the interests of our nearly billion users at risk. That’s why this year, we are focused on improving our content moderation to transform it from a point of criticism into a positive highlight.”

Though specific changes were not detailed, Durov mentioned that Telegram has already taken measures by disabling new media uploads to a standalone blogging tool, which was being misused by anonymous users. Additionally, Telegram has removed the less frequently used People Nearby feature due to problems with bots and scammers and will now highlight legitimate, verified businesses near users instead.

This announcement marks the first disclosure of modifications since Durov’s arrest. His lawyer has criticized the investigation, arguing that it is unreasonable to hold Durov accountable for the actions of app users.

In a previous statement, Durov acknowledged Telegram's imperfections but refuted media claims that it is an "anarchic paradise." He emphasized, “We take down millions of harmful posts and channels every day.” Durov also expressed surprise at the French investigation, suggesting that authorities could have reached out directly to Telegram’s EU representative or him to address any concerns. He commented, “When a country has issues with an internet service, the usual approach is to initiate legal action against the service itself.”

The US has blocked a statement, put forward by Algeria and backed by all UNSC’s 15 members except the US, to the UN Security Council that would have condemned Israel for the killing of more than 100 Palestinians awaiting food aid in northern Gaza.

The US claimed it is trying to verify the “circumstances around how people died” to see if “we can find some language that everyone can agree on”.

Palestinian factions react to Donald Trump's comments about the US occupying and "developing" the Gaza Strip.

🟢 Hamas condemned Trump's statements "in the strongest terms." "We affirm that these statements are hostile to our people and our cause and will not serve stability in the region. Rather, they will pour oil on the fire. We will not allow any country in the world to occupy our land or impose guardianship over our great Palestinian people who have offered rivers of blood to liberate our land from occupation and to establish our Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital."

Hamas called on Trump to retract his statements, which they deemed irresponsible and at odds with international law. They called on the Arab League and UN to address these comments.

⚫ Palestinian Islamic Jihad considered that Trump's comments, made while receiving the wanted Netanyahu, "are nothing more than a new version of the ill-fated Balfour Promise—where those who have nothing are promised to those who do not deserve it."

They called the event "a meeting between the war criminal and the arrogant real estate mogul, which epitomized the reality of the American-zionist project in our region." This project works through intimidation, brute force, and genocide, "flouting all laws, regulations, and the will of our peoples."

PIJ affirmed that these statements leave no doubt that the US is leading a war of genocide, displacement, and the expansion of occupation. They considered Trump's plans, from ending UNRWA to seizing land, are a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security.

PIJ concluded: "Our Palestinian people, who have been resisting for over a hundred years, will not succumb to the dictates of Trump or anyone else. His foolish statements will only serve as motivation for us to reinforce our resistance until we achieve our objectives of liberating our land and ending the occupation. Our Palestinian people and their resistance forces are more determined and resolute than ever in confronting these conspiracies, and we call on the Arab and Islamic peoples to stand against this conspiratorial project, which targets all the peoples of our region and portends serious impending threats."

🔴 The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was similarly direct: Gaza is not a real estate project.

They considered the statements "nothing but an extension of the genocide war waged by the Zionist enemy under the direct American cover, and an attempt to establish a new colonial project based on ethnic cleansing and the uprooting of our people from their land."

They added: "Gaza is not a commodity in the hands of a war merchant like Trump or anyone else; rather, it is an integral part of historical Palestine, which stretches from Ras al-Naqoura to Rafah, and it is the gateway upon which the forces of colonialism have repeatedly crashed throughout history."

"Any dream of controlling Gaza is merely an illusion that will shatter against the rock of the steadfastness and resistance of our people, and the fate of any American occupation force in the Strip will be no different from that of the zionist enemy; our people will confront it with all their strength and determination, just as they repelled the zionist aggression."

"Gaza will forever remain a graveyard for invaders and an oasis of steadfastness and resistance for its free and dignified people."

The PFLP called on all people to "confront this colonial scheme." "We especially urge the active forces in the United States to take to the streets and declare their rejection of this new crime, which reflects the true face of American imperialism that colludes with the zionist occupation. Our struggle against this colonial, extirpatory project is the battle of all free peoples who reject colonialism, displacement, and the uprooting of a free people from their land."

“During this blessed holiday season, as all of us together prepare to make the shift from the current year into 2025, it is essential that we always remember to retain a strong and resilient hope for our future and for the future of our world. Though the world may seem to have been increasingly veering to a place of darkness in the last several years, this darkness is only temporary. The darkness will not last. This darkness will, in time, yield to the brilliant and life-sustaining light of the Sun of Dharma! There will never be a “Great Reset”, but rather a Great Awakening and a Great Restoration that will ultimately lead to the defeat of evil and to the inevitable triumph of good, justice, and fully disclosed truth in our lifetime. During this interim time as we prepare the way for the coming Golden Age, take full and abiding refuge in God; redouble your commitment to the principles of Dharma; practice your meditation and sadhana with more enthusiasm than ever before; do everything in your power to awaken as many people in your life as you can to the truth of Sanatana Dharma. And above all: never, ever lose hope! God is with you always…and God wins in the end!
