Telegram Post

Telegram, a widely used messaging app, is the subject of increasing research focusing on understanding and mitigating its use for the spread of misinformation, propaganda, and harmful content. Current studies employ various machine learning techniques, including transformer-based models like BERT and LLMs such as GPT-4, to detect conspiracy theories, human rights violations, and pro-Kremlin propaganda across multiple languages. This research is crucial for developing tools to combat disinformation and improve online safety, with implications for content moderation, fact-checking, and the broader understanding of information manipulation in online social networks.
