Major Crackdown on Child Exploitation Networks on Telegram
French authorities have identified over 10,000 child predators from 50 countries involved in sharing child pornography on Telegram. This week, four individuals were arrested and charged, following an investigation that uncovered 70,000 messages and 23,000 images exchanged among these networks. The case highlights Telegram’s popularity within the pedocriminal community, despite recent actions against its leadership. Authorities are intensifying international collaboration to combat the online child exploitation epidemic, which is characterized by quick connections among offenders, often involving personal abuse content.
