Telegram has quietly updated its FAQ page, removing language that previously stated private chats were protected from moderation requests. This change follows the arrest of CEO Pavel Durov in France for allegedly allowing criminal activity on the platform. In his first public statement since the arrest, Durov promised to increase content moderation, marking a shift in the company’s stance. The updated FAQ now includes instructions on how users can report illegal content for moderation, replacing the earlier claim that Telegram did not process requests related to private chats.
