🚨Pavel Durov releases a statement after Telegram was briefly removed from Apple's App Store: ● Apple briefly removed Telegram from the App Store after a user planted child sexual abuse material in a public group. ● The attacker edited an old message with AI-modified illegal content, making it effectively invisible to group members and moderators. ● The attacker was a "takedown extortionist" who demanded ransom from group owners and reported the planted content to Apple. ● Telegram quickly removed the content and banned the responsible user, leading to the app's restoration within hours. ● Telegram's moderation relies on user reports, AI filters, content hashes, and other detection tools. ● Apple removed Telegram before contacting the company, Durov calls it a potential risk for any app hosting user-generated content. ● Durov warns that coordinated reporting and extortion tactics are becoming more sophisticated and could target other platforms as well.(Crypto India)
