Telegram is dealing with big problems related to illegal and extremist content.

A recent report from The New York Times found over 1,500 channels run by white supremacists.

There are also many channels selling weapons and at least 22 promoting drugs like MDMA, cocaine, and heroin.

In a related issue, CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France.

Authorities say that the lack of content moderation on the platform makes him partly responsible for these illegal activities.

In response, Telegram has made it easier for users to report abuse on their website.

Durov argues that it’s unfair to blame him for what others do.
