2021-11-02 16:56:37 Not every product can be advertised in Telegram

Burger King in Russia appealed to the anti-monopoly service with a complaint against Telegram in connection with the ban on advertising of fast food on the platform.

Burger King accused Telegram of ignoring the real interests of consumers.

The complaint is pending with the service. If she is satisfied, it is unlikely that Pavel Durov will change his position.

The messenger will have a ban on advertising of psychoactive substances, instructions for the manufacture of drugs, alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. It is curious what policy will be in relation to a company with signs of pyramid schemes, casinos and bookmakers. Open / Comment

2021-10-25 14:22:30 UK urged to impose sanctions on Telegram

The opposition Labor Party of Great Britain has proposed to impose sanctions against online platforms that distribute "extremist materials."

TikTok and Telegram were named among the platforms calling for violence and racial hatred.

“Telegram is the application of choice by extremists,” the party leader said, noting that anonymous users publish threats to “kill all women”, “kill politicians” through the messenger, as well as insults based on homophobia, Islamophobia and racism.

In addition, the "dangerous algorithms" on Facebook and Instagram were criticized.

In general, prohibit the Internet, and that's it :) Open / Comment

2021-10-11 08:25:17 As I am turning 37, I put together a list of 3 undervalued and 7 overvalued things in life.

Undervalued

1. Sleep. Sleep gives a boost to immunity, creativity and psychological well-being.

2. Nature. Nature is the environment that we are biologically designed to feel good in.

3. Solitude. Being alone offers the freedom to make spiritual and intellectual breakthroughs.

Overvalued

1. Big cities. Big cities are sources of pollution, crime and noise. It's good to have access to their resources, but advisable to live outside their borders.

2. Restaurants. Restaurants offer the slowest and least efficient way to eat. Cooking at home allows for healthier diets and more control over ingredients.

3. Hot weather. Sunny weather can bring about not only a lax attitude, but also a risk of cancer and faster aging. Colder temperatures, on the contrary, clarify spirit, body and mind.

4. Fashion. The endless quest to conform with ever-changing trends is expensive and unnecessary. Focusing on comfortable clothes makes life simpler and frees space for things that matter.

5. Real estate. Buying real estate often limits one's choices and is a questionable investment. Renting gives more freedom to move and explore different locations.

6. Social media. The incessant flow of junk cluttering our minds from social media decreases our happiness and creativity. Disconnecting from these internet services is the best thing we can do on any given day.

7. Celebrity advice. Famous people often give unwarranted advice outside their fields of expertise. For all important things in life, it's best to rely on hard science and expert opinion. Open / Comment

2021-10-05 19:37:36 Yesterday Telegram experienced a record increase in user registration and activity.

The daily growth rate of Telegram exceeded the norm by an order of magnitude, and we welcomed over 70 million refugees from other platforms in one day. I am proud of how our team handled the unprecedented growth because Telegram continued to work flawlessly for the vast majority of our users. That said, some users in the Americas may have experienced slower speed than usual as millions of users from these continents rushed to sign up for Telegram at the same time.

I ask our existing users to say hi to their newly arrived friends, help them unpack, and let them know what we have in stock. Make sure they stick around and see why Telegram is light years ahead of the competition.

For the new users I’d like to say this – welcome to Telegram, the largest independent messaging platform. We won’t fail you when others will. Open / Comment
