Durov expressed interest in further discussions about opportunities for cooperation with the Malaysian government to optimize the regulatory aspects of the platform and promised to expand Telegram's activities in the country.<br /><br />Pavel Durov also stated their platform's readiness to collaborate with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to improve regulation and join forces in combating fraud and gambling. Last May, Malaysia's Minister of Communications reported that Telegram "did not want to cooperate" with the ministry, despite numerous requests for a meeting.<br /><br />Statistics for 2022 indicate that Malaysia has <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/553752/number-of-internet-users-in-malaysia/">32 million</a> Internet users, of which <a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/10858/social-media-in-malaysia/#topicOverview">28 million</a> are social media users. Telegram is used by <a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/10858/social-media-in-malaysia/#topicOverview">56% of Internet users in the country,</a> providing a rough estimate of between 15-18 million users in Malaysia.

Through numerous updates and improvements over the years, Telegram has redefined what a modern messaging experience should be like.</div><br />The next step for Telegram is to go beyond messaging and spearhead innovation in social media in general. We should use our popularity to change the lives of billions for better, to inspire and uplift people on our planet. <br /><br />Today’s gradual roll-out of stories for all users marks the beginning of this new stage in the history of Telegram. While this past decade was exciting, the next 10 years will be the time when Telegram reaches its true potential.

When local laws contradict these principles, the messenger is forced to leave the market. For example, earlier, Telegram was banned in China, Iran and Russia because of its principled position on the issue of human rights.<br /><br />A court in Brazil has requested data that Telegram is technically unable to provide, and the company is appealing the decision. Durov also noted that no matter how much it costs, Telegram will protect the interests of its users in Brazil and their right to private communication.

The Federal Office of Justice said Telegram FZ-LLC hasn't established a lawful way for reporting illegal content or named an entity in Germany to receive official communication. Both are required under German laws that regulate large online platforms.<br /><br />German officials said they have repeatedly failed in their attempts to serve papers to Dubai-based Telegram, despite support from authorities in the United Arab Emirates. A Germany-based law firm has since declared that it represents Telegram, but this wasn't enough to prevent the fines being issued, the Federal Office of Justice said. German federal police warned earlier this year that the app is becoming a “medium for radicalization,” used by some to target politicians, scientists and doctors for their role in tackling the coronavirus pandemic.<br /><br />“The operators of messaging services and social networks bear a particular responsibility for acting against incitement to hatred and violence on their platforms,” Justice Minister Marco Buschmann said in a statement. “These legal requirements and this responsibility can't be avoided by trying to be unreachable.” The fine can be appealed.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163196691719123216.post-40591561622920748332022-10-17T20:40:00.005+05:302022-10-17T20:48:08.794+05:30Telegram Web 3.0 Is Coming<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_t5bNBACj04kQQTSsh5ktMXlQhmHZ0ry7wX0Ba8ElUYVgxErHCz9Y6wz-d7Tw6yRwVPQqW6AfFJVFVdsmqAg61iNFcclVCPoZB-PgTtP2hnNhF_pejimz60xdoEI-nFaETifAhwI9wpX77bNyCfQh8BeOU7pS_8VhKtylYnypveEeOXelckJ23saMog/s1280/infotelbot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="876" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_t5bNBACj04kQQTSsh5ktMXlQhmHZ0ry7wX0Ba8ElUYVgxErHCz9Y6wz-d7Tw6yRwVPQqW6AfFJVFVdsmqAg61iNFcclVCPoZB-PgTtP2hnNhF_pejimz60xdoEI-nFaETifAhwI9wpX77bNyCfQh8BeOU7pS_8VhKtylYnypveEeOXelckJ23saMog/s16000/infotelbot.jpg" /></a></div><div>Two test NFT collections of Telegram usernames have appeared on the Getgems website.

According to a report published by an anti-malware platform called Minerva Labs, fake Telegram messenger applications are being circulated on the internet to distribute the Purple Fox malware. When downloaded, the malware escapes the anti-virus system installed on a computer and can execute a transfer of information without the consent or knowledge of the user. <br /><br />As mentioned in the report by Minerva Labs "We have often observed threat actors using legitimate software for dropping malicious files. This time however is different. This threat actor was able to leave most parts of the attack under the radar by separating the attack into several small files, most of which had very low detection rates by AV engines, with the final stage leading to Purple Fox rootkit infection." The malicious Telegram installer is a compiled AutoIt script and is floating on the internet with the name "Telegram Desktop.exe" and hence, users are advised to beware.

Here is what you should know:</div><br />1. There will be no ads in chats on Telegram. If you use Telegram as the messenger that we launched in 2013 – you will never see a sponsored message. Sponsored messages can't appear in your chat list, private chats or groups.<br /><br />2. User data will not be used to target ads. As with everything we do, our main priority is protecting the private data of our users. That's why unlike other apps we will not use your private data to display ads.<br /><br />Sponsored messages on Telegram are shown only in large public one-to-many channels with 1000+ members – and are based solely on the topic of the public channels in which they are shown. This means that no user data is mined or analyzed to display them. <br /><br />3. Sponsored messages will be unobtrusive. Official sponsored messages are limited to 160 characters of text – without media or external links. You may see a maximum of one sponsored message per channel – and only after you’ve finished reading any new posts.<br /><br />4. We are fixing ads that are already here. Some admins of one-to-many channels on Telegram already post ads in the form of regular messages. We hope that Sponsored Messages will offer a more user-friendly and less chaotic way for people to promote their channels and bots.<br /><br />Sponsored messages are currently in test mode and are not available to everyone. Once they are fully launched and allow Telegram to cover its basic costs (such as equipment and data centers that are used by channel admins to deliver their content to our hundreds of millions of users), we plan to start sharing ad revenue with the admins of the channels where Sponsored Messages are displayed – because it is fair.<br /><br />5. With Telegram you're more ad-free than with WhatsApp. WhatsApp already shares user data with advertisers [<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/sep/02/ireland-watchdog-fines-whatsapp-record-sum-for-flouting-eu-privacy-rules" target="_blank">1</a> ] [<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/legal/german-regulator-acts-halt-illegal-whatsapp-data-collection-2021-04-13/" target="_blank">2</a> ] – even though they don’t show ads themselves. On Telegram, however, advertisers will never get your private data. Besides, if you use Telegram the way you use WhatsApp, you will never see a single ad. Sponsored messages can only appear in channels, which are a unique social networking feature Telegram added several years after launch. If WhatsApp introduces a similar feature, they are likely to also display ads there, like their parent company already does on Instagram and Facebook.<br /><br />Online ads should no longer be synonymous with the abuse of user privacy. We'd like to redefine how a tech company should operate by setting an example of a self-sustainable platform that respects its users and content creators.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163196691719123216.post-11287736946454668242021-11-13T16:59:00.000+05:302021-11-13T16:59:19.735+05:30Russian court fines Google, Telegram<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigls4Kyz9tOUc5kVLg4bWqDsu3AN6_CJHmnsvA8Ah2j9wx7PbkIzHrsQ72ZoRa4FqvM2V91tWk3yFOh54gKOlwdhfkTT1CiKWkr5lh7JttC_crj1E3kbkxVLlX1JumKm-R-RRQLFP3QbEV/s1280/russia-court.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigls4Kyz9tOUc5kVLg4bWqDsu3AN6_CJHmnsvA8Ah2j9wx7PbkIzHrsQ72ZoRa4FqvM2V91tWk3yFOh54gKOlwdhfkTT1CiKWkr5lh7JttC_crj1E3kbkxVLlX1JumKm-R-RRQLFP3QbEV/s16000/russia-court.jpg" /></a></div><div>A Moscow court on Monday ordered fresh fines for US tech giant Google and Russian-founded encrypted messaging service Telegram, accusing the companies of not removing illegal content.

This is the main reason why beta version has received over a hundred of updates, but it's been a long while since the stable one got one.<br /><br />This year I've been coming up and experimenting with different ideas that might allow the app to survive even after I'm gone. Even though without burnout it would be much easier and faster, several required steps are finished and are mentioned in this change log. I hope you will be able to see them all before I really do so.<br /><br />There's no big team behind creation of Telegram X. There is a wizard working on <a href="https://core.telegram.org/tdlib">TDLib</a> and many brave ones doing magic with Telegram servers on which it relies. But behind the app itself, since more than 6 years of its creation in April 2015, even though millions of people have used the app, more than 325,000 people subscribed to beta, and <a href="https://t.me/tgandroidtests">entire community</a> with over 4,000 volunteer testers has grown around it, on another end there's always been just a couple chat admins who helped sorting out feedback and bug reports, and just one person resolving all of them, trying at the same time to bring joy through little details and animations to a few people who might notice them.<br /><br />In spring 2020, when exactly 5 years have passed since the first development crunch that created the first version of the app, things stopped working the same way they used to. I didn't quit, and never stopped working. Moreover, whenever I tried to have a break or some rest, I couldn't relax at all, so I had to yet give up on this idea.<br /><br />Even though I haven't recovered, in the end I've managed to create several things that allow improving the development process and ended up publishing this yet another stable release, including writing this change log.<br /><br />Meanwhile, a couple months ago new young developer has joined this one-person team, and some of the features in this update are based on his pull requests. I hope one day this development process will become as public as possible, and it will bring everyone an opportunity to hop in and hop out of it anytime, without sacrificing healthy life and interrupting the process of creating new updates.<br /><br />But it should be clear it's not an easy task to achieve in an instant: few things still have to be done before that, and properly building the team and managing such community isn't compatible with bringing new features, investigating and fixing issues, and writing the change logs by the same person at the same time (especially when it's the one out of life energy).<br /><br />There's a big story behind each of the updates, and I apologise that this one took so long. While you may, as always, want to see more features, I hope you will find something new to enjoy in this update.</i><div><br /></div><div>Read more about this update in the article: <a href="http://telegra.ph/Telegram-X-11-08" target="_blank">telegra.ph/Telegram-X-11-08</a></div><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163196691719123216.post-7748688870809255552021-11-06T17:00:00.002+05:302021-11-21T21:25:14.781+05:30Telegram November 2021 Android Contest<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-wWBASUkfMt03CmAhyphenhyphenin1hn0oCecq8fWQ0Ye6_fRQ6Wrinqn2ixakoZZz4f-F64VPO0l1wN1xDmi3elmRQ7BFeB8gcJE3AYtWgGBqa0r66viIGI3t7y7VvOdH0VhNqwK0JpRnc83ewAU/s1500/contest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="844" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-wWBASUkfMt03CmAhyphenhyphenin1hn0oCecq8fWQ0Ye6_fRQ6Wrinqn2ixakoZZz4f-F64VPO0l1wN1xDmi3elmRQ7BFeB8gcJE3AYtWgGBqa0r66viIGI3t7y7VvOdH0VhNqwK0JpRnc83ewAU/s16000/contest.jpg" /></a></div><div>Prize fund: $50,000</div>Deadline: 23:59 on November, 15 (Dubai Time)<br />Results: November, 18<br /><br /><b>Task: </b>Implement new features in Telegram for Android based on the mockups provided.<br /><br /><b>Conditions:</b><br />• This contest in only open for Russian-speaking developers.

Pavel Durov Back in 2013, when its first version was released on the eve of 15 August of the same year.</div><br />Under Zuckerberg, What particularly affected WhatsApp, the most used instant messaging system in the world to date, was a real panacea for Durov, who took advantage of Palo Alto’s troubled times to grab new users. When WhatsApp stopped working for 6 very long hours in early October, in fact, almost the whole world started communicating via Telegram, this time (except for traditional SMS) able to connect with friends The only way to be (even if, a phone call would have been useful to everyone…)<div><br />And of course Durov and his ads quickly took advantage of the situation, saying, among other things, that Telegram is the safest messaging app to take refuge in when things aren’t going well elsewhere. Whether this is the case or not, the result has been what Telegram and its team of developers have always dreamed of: reaching one billion downloads and surpassing it! And so it was. At least with respect to the Android version, which according to the data released by Google Play Store, has entered the club of Big Downloaders.<div><br />Certainly nothing to do with the results achieved by Facebook and WhatsApp over the years, but certainly the Zuckerberg-owned social media giants benefited greatly from most of their years of experience and above all given the fact That they were born a few years ago. But Telegram deserves this success and continues to be: its journey over the years has been marred by continuous improvements and updates, which have made it one of the most popular applications especially by users, who use it extensively for work purposes. Very happy with the work of Telegram developer team.</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163196691719123216.post-89674052170058530222021-10-10T14:30:00.001+05:302021-11-14T18:48:58.221+05:30Sponsored messages requirements in Telegram<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zKIQkTvlEHYxy_7t4juNp39fonlLf_n9Vce5WMEP7T3pHf7VpBpChy9BCGS4G67h1iSsetDHhFVVo5UCiCPvTMqjKl9i0kDokH4BGDZg3SpP0pyvnk7RxLexunaa-v_zy3fOD55su-E5/s1600/telegram+ads.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zKIQkTvlEHYxy_7t4juNp39fonlLf_n9Vce5WMEP7T3pHf7VpBpChy9BCGS4G67h1iSsetDHhFVVo5UCiCPvTMqjKl9i0kDokH4BGDZg3SpP0pyvnk7RxLexunaa-v_zy3fOD55su-E5/s16000/telegram+ads.jpeg" /></a></div><div>A Russian channel called Durov's Code found out about upcoming requirements for sponsored messages in Telegram.
