On September 6th, Telegram founder Pavel Durov spoke out through Telegram after being arrested in France, stating that the idea of Telegram being an anarchist paradise is absolutely untrue. We delete millions of harmful posts and channels every day and release daily transparency reports. We also have direct channels of contact with non-governmental organizations to expedite emergency regulatory requests. The number of Telegram users has grown rapidly to 950 million, causing growing pains for the platform and making it easier for criminals to abuse it. That's why I have made significant improvements to this situation my personal goal. We have already started this process internally and will soon share more details about our progress with everyone."
