Amid the selloff pressure on Toncoin price, messaging app Telegram is now under investigation by South Korean police, as per a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-korea-police-launch-probe-into-telegram-over-online-sex-crimes-yonhap-2024-09-02/" target="_blank">Reuters report</a> on September 2. The police will investigate potential online sex crimes on the platform, but the South Korean Cyber Investigation Bureau declined to comment on the report. 
Local news agency Yonhap quoted Woo Jong-soo, head of the National Office of Investigation, revealing that the police has launched a preliminary investigation into the instant messaging service platform Telegram on suspicions of abetting deepfake sex crimes. 
“As France has done, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency launched an internal investigation into the corporate entity of Telegram before officially booking it,” Woo said. 
The probe started after public and political outrage over digital deepfake pornography featuring South Korean women. The local media reported that such content is typically available in Telegram chatrooms. This has fueled further selloff pressure on Toncoin price. 
The South Korean police plan to collaborate with French authorities and other institutions to find methods for investigating Telegram. 
Telegram is also under probe in the EU countries and other nations such as India and Indonesia.
