Telegram’s large user base, with groups of up to 200,000 members, has faced significant criticism for spreading misinformation and harmful content. The app has been criticized in the UK for hosting extreme channels linked to recent violence. Although Telegram has removed some problematic groups, experts say its moderation of harmful content is weaker compared to other major platforms.

French authorities issued the arrest warrant in connection with allegations against his messaging app, Telegram. Are the wester countries desperate to control Telegram communications?
