Telegram User Identification via Facial Recognition
Users on Telegram’s test server have discovered an officially verified bot that scans faces using the camera — likely for identity verification purposes.
This bot’s development is presumably linked to a law that will soon take effect in the United Kingdom. The law requires websites and apps distributing adult content to verify the age of users seeking access to such material.
The @tginfo editorial team firmly believes that no identity verification requirements will be introduced for users outside the UK in the near future.
