📣 Following my post 20 days ago, users have sent us hundreds of reports about scams and blackmail. 👮♂️
⛔️ Based on these reports, this week we’re banning numerous channels for doxxing and extortion. 🔒
❌ A ban for this reason means we have undeniable evidence that a channel’s admins published defamatory posts, then deleted them in exchange for payment from victims. Some have even been caught selling so-called “protection blocks” — fees victims must pay to avoid being targeted. 💵
❌ Telegram is not a place for doxxing or blackmail. And to those running such channels: don’t waste your time creating clones — we’ll find you. 📡
