"Child sexual exploitation and abuse causes devastating harm to victims, and making sure sites and apps tackle this is one of our highest priorities."
"Regulators must act with urgency and courage, listening to survivors' experiences and demands, and mandate Telegram to cooperate with law enforcement and civil society."
Ofcom has initiated an investigation into Telegram for potentially allowing the sharing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in violation of the UK's Online Safety Act. This decision follows evidence from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection indicating the presence of CSAM on the platform. The investigation will assess Telegram's compliance with safety regulations. Reports reveal that numerous channels on Telegram are involved in sharing non-consensual intimate images, with a significant number of users identified in Italy and Spain. The urgency for regulatory action is emphasized by experts.
