Telegram, a popular messaging app, has become a hunting ground for criminals and law enforcement agencies alike. While criminals use the app to discuss and plan illicit activities, law enforcement agencies have been able to prosecute criminals by using their own words posted on Telegram channels. The accessibility of Telegram has made it a valuable tool for law enforcement, allowing them to infiltrate criminal groups and gather evidence. However, despite the efforts of law enforcement, Telegram continues to be a platform for criminal activity, with drug traffickers, terror cells, and swindlers taking advantage of its openness and large user base. The founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has had a complicated relationship with Western governments, with the app being criticized for facilitating the exchange of child exploitation material. Recently, Durov has announced changes to Telegram's terms of service to cooperate more with law enforcement. [Extracted from the article] |
