Telegram will communicate the data of those who do not respect its rules if the Justice asks for it
The owner and founder of Telegram, Pável Dúrov, announced on Monday a tightening of moderation on his social network which will mean, among other things, that they will communicate the data of people who do not respect their rules if the Justice asks them to.
In a message on his platform profile, Dúrov, who was arrested and charged in France at the end of August for the dissemination of illegal content, warned that “the IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate our rules can be disclosed to the competent authorities in response to previous legal demands.”
It is about “dissuading criminals more from abusing our rules.”
This businessman, who has Russian nationality, but also French and the United Arab Emirates, said that Telegram has implemented a series of measures, especially for “people who do not respect our rules to sell illegal products.”
That is the result of the action of a team of moderators who have used artificial intelligence to make the platform’s search engine “much safer.”
“All the problematic content that we have identified is no longer accessible with the search engine.”
This situation contrasts with the one that existed until now, since Telegram stressed that it did not transmit information about its users except in terrorism investigations.
Now, however, they are warned that if they are suspects in an investigation for criminal activities that also violate the internal rules of the network, “a legal analysis of the demands” that come from the Justice will be made, to which the IP address and telephone number can be communicated.
Since his arrest when he arrived in Paris on August 24, Dúrov has begun to collaborate with Justice in France but also in other countries.

Thirteen cuban military members missing after explosion at arms warehouse
Thirteen members of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) have been reported “missing” following an explosion at an arms and ammunition warehouse in the eastern part of the island, the military institution announced.
“As a result of the explosions at an arms and ammunition warehouse in the Melones community… in the province of Holguín, 730 km east of Havana,” two officers, two non-commissioned officers, and nine soldiers are reported as “missing,” according to a statement from the Ministry of the Armed Forces released by Cuban state television.
The statement specified that “investigations are still ongoing at the site,” which led to the evacuation of more than 1,200 residents from areas near the warehouse of a military unit where “aged ammunition was being classified.”
Neither the official press nor Cuban state television have provided images of the explosions at the military unit, but independent media outlets published photos online showing a massive column of smoke and police officers deployed in the streets of the Melones community.

Trump considers declaring National Economic Emergency to justify universal tariffs
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump may be considering declaring a national economic emergency in order to justify implementing a package of universal tariffs on both allied and adversary countries, according to CNN.
The proclamation of these measures would grant the incoming U.S. president the freedom to create a new tariff program using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
This move would give the president the authority to manage imports during a national emergency.
According to the report, Trump has a penchant for this law as it provides broad jurisdiction on how tariffs are implemented without strict requirements to prove they are necessary for national security reasons.

Venezuelan opposition candidate Enrique Márquez detained ahead of Maduro’s inauguration
Enrique Márquez, a minority opposition candidate in Venezuela’s July 28 elections, was “arbitrarily detained,” denounced a political coalition he is part of and his wife, who described the action as “kidnapping.”
Since Tuesday night, there has been a wave of reports of detentions, with at least a dozen arrests just over 48 hours before President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration for a third six-year term, following a controversial reelection.
“We inform that yesterday, 07.01.25, Enrique Márquez was arbitrarily detained,” stated the Popular Democratic Front (FDP).
“He was kidnapped by paramilitary groups who, using force as their law, aim to silence and intimidate those of us who want a better country and have a different vision,” said his wife, Sonia Lugo de Márquez, on the leader’s X account.
