Telegram founder Pavel Durov, who was arrested in France, spoke out through Telegram, stating, "The notion that Telegram is a haven for anarchism is absolutely untrue. We delete millions of harmful posts and channels every day. We publish daily transparency reports and have direct channels of communication with NGOs to expedite regulatory requests. Telegram's user base has rapidly grown to 950 million, leading to growing pains on the platform, making it easier for criminals to abuse it. That's why I have made significant improvements in this situation my personal goal. We have already started this process internally and will soon share more details about the progress with everyone."
