According to the russian MP, the messenger operates within the framework of russian legislation.
Both Telegram's administration and Pavel Durov himself always respond very quickly - we can see it clearly - to incidents, cooperate with law enforcement agencies, including blocking prohibited content
He added that the Center for Youth Protection "regularly receives requests to block this or that channel, a cannibalistic channel, and so on.
In turn, the administrators of messenger "meet the challenge" and block such content.
Addendum
Commenting on the possibility that the perpetrators of the Crocus City terror were recruited on Telegram , Metelev emphasized that the problems are not with the platform.
Well, terrorists would not recruit (mercenaries) on Telegram, they would recruit on WhatsApp or somewhere else. Here we need to work on prevention, on algorithms, and I'm sure that the special services are doing this
Recall
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned Telegram CEO that the platform is increasingly being used by terrorists for their own purposes, but russia has no plans to ban it yet, although it expects more attention from Pavel Durov.
