Telegram, the social media giant co-founded by Pavel Durov, the Russian-born billionaire indicted in France, has updated its policy on private chat moderation.

What Happened: Telegram has retracted a statement from its frequently asked questions, or FAQ page that previously assured users of immunity from moderation requests in private chats, reported The Verge.

This development comes Telegram CEO Durov’s first public statement post-arrest, in which he committed to improving content moderation on the platform.

Durov acknowledged the challenges posed by Telegram’s rapid user growth to 950 million, which he said had facilitated misuse of the platform by criminals. He assured that efforts to improve the situation were already underway.
