We were disturbed to learn that Telegram's public channels were being used by ISIS to spread their propaganda.

We are carefully reviewing all reports sent to us at abuse@telegram.org and are taking appropriate action to block such channels.

As a result, this week alone we blocked 78 ISIS-related channels across 12 languages.

We are also introducing an easier way for our users to report objectionable public content in the upcoming update of Telegram this week.
