"Was keiner wagt, das sollt ihr wagen. Was keiner sagt, das sagt heraus. Was keiner denkt, das wagt zu denken. Was keiner anfΓ€ngt, das fΓΌhrt aus. Wenn keiner "Ja" sagt, sollt ihr's sagen, wenn keiner "Nein" sagt, sagt doch nein. Wenn alle zweifeln, wagt zu Glauben. Wenn alle mittun, steht allein. Wo alle loben, habt bedenken, wo alle spotten, spottet nicht. Wo alle geizen, wagt zu schenken. Wo alles dunkel ist, macht Licht!" - Lothar Zenetti (Worte der Zuversicht, 1972)

The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users. He said that since his platform does not have the capacity to check all channels, it may restrict some in Russia and Ukraine "for the duration of the conflict," but then reversed course hours later after many users complained that Telegram was an important source of information. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegramβs user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash β worth more than a billion dollars β to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. Lastly, the web previews of t.me links have been given a new look, adding chat backgrounds and design elements from the fully-features Telegram Web client.
