Telegram will cooperate with governments to fight fake news
Fact-checking will be the responsibility of agencies appointed by the governments of the countries where Telegram operates
Pavel Durov's Telegram platform is making changes to its content moderation principles, which many have called insufficient or even non-existent.
Recently, the Fact Check feature was added to the source code of the beta version of Telegram for Android.
Source. This was reported by the Durov's Code publication in the Telegram channel.
According to the published code changes, the new feature will allow adding clarifying information to posts.
Fact-checking will be the responsibility of agencies appointed by the governments of the countries in which Telegram operates.
Ordinary users will not be able to change the content of such notes, but will be able to get details about the agency that verified the publication, the report said.
Background. It was also reported that TikTok has limited the spread of Russian propaganda. Since the beginning of the year, TikTok employees have disrupted 15 media operations organised by Russians.
