Telegram and the police, Halide and Apple trouble, Obscura and the update – iTopnews.de

In this news we summarize relevant app news. The founder of Telegram has announced an innovation.

The messenger will be taking more action against illegal materials in the future. One of the steps is better cooperation with law enforcement. As part of this cooperation, IP addresses and telephone numbers will be passed on to them in the future – if necessary. The action takes effect when there is reasonable suspicion of a criminal offense. In addition, moderators will increasingly delete illegal content in the future.

Massive allegations against Telegram, but founder denies them

In the past, Telegram has often been criticized because many criminals hang out on the platform. The accusations: Telegram serves as a communication channel for coordinating crimes and selling things, such as drugs. It is also unclear whether it is closely linked to the Russian secret service, even though Telegram boss Pavel Durov, who recently spent time in France, has repeatedly denied this.

Let’s briefly move on to the photo app section. Apple has released an update to the camera app Halide rejected. The well-known camera app is also highly valued by Apple. However, an update was rejected by Apple’s review process.

Cupertino said that the app did not provide sufficient justification as to why the camera app needed camera access. Sounds like a “concave mirror”.

Just a misunderstanding

However, Apple has now contacted the developers and described this rejection as an error. No adjustments need to be made. The app can now be downloaded again and used to its full extent.
