Security Considerations

While t.me is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

URL Shortener

t.me converts URLs into short codes that hide the actual destination. Before clicking shortened links, use a URL expander tool or hover to preview where the link actually leads.

File Hosting

t.me allows users to upload and share files. Any file you download was uploaded by another user—not the platform operator. Scan downloads with antivirus software and only download from sources you trust.

User-Generated Content

t.me hosts content created by its users, not the platform operator. Individual posts, profiles, or pages may contain scams, misinformation, or phishing attempts that the platform hasn't yet detected or removed.

Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
