📢 Pavel Durov announced an update to Telegram’s platform privacy policy. What do you think?
Big news, Telegram’s policy is about to change! Bloomberg reported on September 23 that according to the legal requirements of the authorities, Telegram must cooperate in handing over users’ private information!
This move means that the social platform that was previously known for its privacy protection will now begin to share users' IP addresses and phone numbers with the authorities.
Telegram’s CEO Pavel Durov recently announced the big news and updated the platform’s terms and conditions. This is a big change, because Telegram has been criticized by the authorities in the past for not disclosing user information.
In addition to the policy updates, they also launched new moderation tools for AI and human moderators to identify and remove inappropriate content. Durov also called on everyone to actively report illegal or harmful content to ensure that the platform can handle it in a timely manner.
Despite this, Telegram users can still use privacy features such as end-to-end encryption and automatic disappearing messages, and they emphasize that so far, no user information has been leaked to third parties, including government authorities.
It is worth noting that this move was a new decision that had to be announced after Durov was deeply involved in legal problems! At the end of August, he was arrested by French authorities and charged with 12 criminal offenses including drug trafficking, child exploitation and money laundering. However, he denied the accusations and Telegram insisted that it complied with European law.
Although French President Macron later stated that the arrest was not politically motivated and was only part of a judicial investigation. But there are also speculations that this is a political attack on Durov and Telegram.
🧐 So, what do you think of Telegram’s policy change? Do you think this change will affect its user base? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment area!

Cryptocurrency tycoons become kidnapping targets! Another "finger-cutting extortion" case in France
A kidnapping tragedy caused by cryptocurrency wealth recently took place in Paris. A father was kidnapped and his millionaire son was forced to pay a huge ransom. This is as thrilling as a movie plot!
Last weekend, French police rescued a man who was kidnapped in Paris. The victim was kidnapped in the 14th arrondissement of Paris on Thursday, May 2, and his son was a millionaire. The two ran a cryptocurrency marketing company in Malta.
The kidnappers' goal was clear, that is, to blackmail the son's cryptocurrency wealth by kidnapping the father. The police said that the ransom demanded by the kidnappers was between 5 million and 7 million euros, which is not a small amount.
Even more cruel is that the kidnappers cut off one of the father's fingers in order to exert pressure. Fortunately, the police intervened in time to avoid further harm. French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau praised the police's decisive action at X.
This is not the first time the French cryptocurrency community has encountered such a kidnapping. In January this year, David Balland, co-founder of cryptocurrency company Ledger, was also kidnapped in Paris. The kidnappers also cut off one of his fingers and demanded a ransom.
Taken together, these incidents show that as cryptocurrency wealth becomes more popular, wealthy cryptocurrency investors in France and their families are becoming targets of kidnapping.
Currently, the police are investigating whether this case is related to previous threats, and the victim's family has received threats before. At present, the five suspects may face charges of serious crimes such as kidnapping, extortion, torture and armed extortion, and the investigation is still ongoing.
This incident also reminds us that while the anonymity and decentralization of cryptocurrency provide convenience for investors, it also provides opportunities for criminals. Therefore, while pursuing wealth, whether individuals or businesses, we cannot ignore security issues.
As cryptocurrency becomes more popular, how can we balance wealth opportunities with security risks? What measures should governments and investors take to deal with this new criminal trend? Leave a message in the comment section to discuss!
