As with everything we do, our main priority is protecting the private data of our users. User data will not be used to target ads. Sponsored messages can't appear in your chat list, private chats or groups. If you use Telegram as the messenger that we launched in 2013 – you will never see a sponsored message. There will be no ads in chats on Telegram. Telegram is launching Sponsored Messages – a tool that allows anyone to promote their channels and bots. For all important things in life, it's best to rely on hard science and expert opinion. Famous people often give unwarranted advice outside their fields of expertise. Disconnecting from these internet services is the best thing we can do on any given day. The incessant flow of junk cluttering our minds from social media decreases our happiness and creativity. Renting gives more freedom to move and explore different locations. Buying real estate often limits one's choices and is a questionable investment. Focusing on comfortable clothes makes life simpler and frees space for things that matter. The endless quest to conform with ever-changing trends is expensive and unnecessary. Colder temperatures, on the contrary, clarify spirit, body and mind. Sunny weather can bring about not only a lax attitude, but also a risk of cancer and faster aging. Cooking at home allows for healthier diets and more control over ingredients.
Restaurants offer the slowest and least efficient way to eat. It's good to have access to their resources, but advisable to live outside their borders. Big cities are sources of pollution, crime and noise. Being alone offers the freedom to make spiritual and intellectual breakthroughs. Nature is the environment that we are biologically designed to feel good in. Sleep gives a boost to immunity, creativity and psychological well-being. 🎂 As I am turning 37, I put together a list of 3 undervalued and 7 overvalued things in life. Such channels violate Telegram's rules, the rules of Apple and Google and also local laws. We also had to block a similar German public channel "menschenreise_diskussion", which, just like "stopdittatura", had over 40,000 subscribers and actively incited violence against doctors. Unfortunately, the channel admins failed to act even after our team warned them about the violation. Yesterday we had to shut down an Italian channel "stopdittatura", which incited subscribers to harm medical doctors and other public officials related to vaccinations. Inciting violence has been prohibited by the Terms of Service of Telegram since 2015, so we take action every time this line is crossed. What Telegram does not allow, however, is the distribution of calls for violence via public channels. Large Telegram channels are one of the few remaining places on the Internet where users can raise their voice against various anti-Covid measures, which they feel have restricted their rights. On Telegram, people can publicly express reasonable concerns about vaccines. If you are in the mood for a long read, check out the whole post: If Telegram has to temporarily remove some content due to a law, it means that other platforms would have removed it long before us. Telegram gives its users more freedom than any other app. Such wars have a heavy price and should only be started in cases when the requirement of a law is in direct contradiction with human rights. However, picking a fight with these two tech companies AND a government at the same time results in an immediate shutdown of Telegram for millions of users. TLDR Had the position of Apple and Google been different, we could have avoided complying with a local law that prescribed content moderation last weekend. I wrote a detailed post explaining why Telegram sometimes has to take unusual actions in content moderation, such as following the policies of Google and Apple when they suspended a voting app last week.
