Brussels is currently scrutinizing whether Telegram has violated EU digital rules by possibly misreporting its user count in the region, limiting its obligations.
EU officials suspect the app may have reported figures below 45 million to avoid a full suite of compliance requirements, reflecting concerns over its influence.
Telegram is reportedly nearing 1 billion global users, yet its stated count in the EU falls just shy of a regulatory threshold that would demand stricter oversight.
The ongoing EU investigation coincides with a French inquiry into criminal activities on Telegram, resulting in the arrest of its founder, Pavel Durov.
