Things to Know About WeChat and Telegram Compliance

 

Do you use WeChat and Telegram for communication purposes in your business? If you do, you need to know the right steps to take in order to ensure WeChat compliance and Telegram compliance. A lot of companies these days are using instant messaging applications as a way to connect with their clients. In the financial services sector, many 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.

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 the companies that use them can face serious compliance risks. Regulators have cracked down on an insider trading case using WeChat conversations, highlighting the importance of monitoring the various mobile messaging solutions in order to keep illegal activities from occurring.

It is important to remember that the internet in China is not like the internet around the world because of censorship on specific content. WeChat also censors content through constant monitoring of all conversations, even for communications from people outside China.

China scans and flags plenty of politically sensitive content. The flagged messages are sent to a machine-learning system that is used to censor content. The biggest issue with WeChat’s spying activities is the fact that it does not disclose any of its monitoring activities to its foreign users. Without a third-party conducting its own investigations, the international users will not find out that their conversations are being monitored to help WeChat’s censorship algorithm.
