Subject: Ban animal torture content & improve moderation practices

Text:

Dear Telegram Team,

I am writing to express my concern about the presence of content on Telegram that depicts or promotes animal abuse and cruelty.

Content showing the abuse of animals can contribute to the normalization of violence, cause distress to users, and, in some cases, may be connected to criminal activity.

I believe online platforms have an important role in helping prevent the spread of such material.

Telegram is failing to safeguard young and vulnerable people.
I respectfully ask Telegram to strengthen its efforts to address this issue by:

– Removing channels, groups, and posts that promote or distribute animal abuse content.
– Responding more quickly to reports involving animal cruelty.
– Improving reporting tools so users can easily report this type of content.
– Increasing transparency about how reports of animal abuse are reviewed and handled.
– Cooperating with relevant authorities when content appears to document or encourage illegal acts involving animals.

Many users value Telegram as a communication platform, and stronger action against animal cruelty content would help create a safer and more responsible online environment.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this request.
I hope Telegram will continue improving its policies and enforcement regarding content that depicts or promotes animal abuse.

Sincerely,
