Telegram has agreed to open an office in Kazakhstan as part of its efforts to comply with local regulatory requirements. The Ministry of Digital Development of Kazakhstan announced that Telegram will appoint a local representative and open an office, which will help strengthen content control on the platform.
In Kazakhstan, 12.5 million people use the messenger, which accounts for more than half of the population. This move is also related to an investigation in France involving Pavel Durov. Telegram has intensified its fight against illegal activities by providing authorities with the IP addresses and phone numbers of violators.
