Demand Accountability Now

The Dangers Enabled by Telegram

Telegram’s lack of effective moderation and anonymous architecture have made it a hub for organized exploitation, criminal operations, and harmful content. These systemic issues threaten children, animals, financial security, personal privacy, and global stability.

Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

Telegram groups and bots are used to share and trade CSAM, perpetuating horrific abuse and making prosecution extremely difficult. This is an urgent global safety issue demanding immediate intervention.

Animal Cruelty & Wildlife Trafficking

Communities sharing graphic cruelty and illegal wildlife trade operations thrive on Telegram, contributing to species extinction, organized crime, and public health risks from zoonotic diseases.

Investment Fraud & Crypto Scams

Telegram hosts countless scam networks that steal billions through fraudulent investments and crypto schemes, often preying on vulnerable users and facilitating large-scale financial crimes.

Revenge Porn & Intimate Image Abuse

Victims face lifelong trauma when intimate imagery is distributed without consent. Telegram’s encryption and design make removal nearly impossible, undermining victims’ privacy and dignity.

Terrorism & Violent Extremism

Telegram remains a coordination tool for extremist groups, facilitating recruitment and attacks. The platform’s inaction has tangible national and global security consequences.
