Pavel Durov promises to improve regulation of Telegram platform

Telegram founder Pavel Durov spoke out through Telegram after his arrest in France, saying, "It is absolutely untrue that Telegram is some kind of anarchist paradise. We remove millions of harmful posts and channels every day. And publish daily transparency reporting, and have direct lines of communication with NGOs for faster processing of urgent regulatory requests. Telegram's rapid growth to 950 million users has caused the platform to experience growing pains, making it easier for criminals to abuse the platform. That's why I've made it my personal goal to significantly improve this situation. We have begun this process internally and will share more details about our progress with you soon. "(Decrypt)
