Things to Know About WeChat and Telegram Compliance

 

Ensuring WeChat compliance is very important if you use WeChat in your workplace. You will also need to ensure Telegram compliance if you have allowed you employees to use Telegram. Instant messaging applications have been repeatedly used in various companies to connect with their clients. In the financial services sector, a lot of bankers and traders find apps such as WeChat and Telegram to be convenient channels of communication because most of their clients favor using them over other means to transact business.

For instance, in China, traders and bankers are actively using WeChat to make deals even when various companies in other countries shun such messaging apps. Since instant messaging apps are not compliant with most regulatory requirements, it means that companies that are using them can face serious compliance risks. In the recent past, regulators have cracked down on an insider trading case using WeChat conversations, highlighting the importance of monitoring the mobile messaging solutions in an effort to keep illegal activities at bay.

The internet in China is not like the internet around the world because there is censorship on specific content. Apps such as WeChat and Telegram also censor content through constant monitoring of all conversations, even when the communications are from people who are located outside of China. The government in this country has scanned and flagged a lot of politically sensitive content. Flagged messages are normally sent to a machine-learning system that is used to censor content in China.

The biggest problem with the spying activities of WeChat’s is that it does not disclose any of its monitoring activities to its foreign users. Without a third party conducting its own investigations, such as The Citizen Lab’s report, international users will not find out that their conversations are being monitored to help WeChat’s censorship algorithm.
