"إنَّ سفينة العالم أجمع؛ شرقه وغربه، شماله وجنوبه، مسلمه وكافره، غارقة في بحر لُجيٍّ من دركات الشقاء والهلاك وظلمات العيِّ والضلال، تجرفها دوامة عمياء إلى قعر جهنم الأسود، ولا منقذ لها إلا بقيام دولة الإسلام وإعادتها إلى الوجود؛ تنشر الضياء وتهدي الأنام وتيسِّر لهم السبل وتُعبِّد لهم الطريق، بانية جسر النجاة نحو جنة الرحمن ورضاه سبحانه." كتاب #دول_القرآن

The fake Zelenskiy account reached 20,000 followers on Telegram before it was shut down, a remedial action that experts say is all too rare. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. Update March 8, 2022: EFF has clarified that Channels and Groups are not fully encrypted, end-to-end, updated our post to link to Telegram’s FAQ for Cloud and Secret chats, updated to clarify that auto-delete is available for group and channel admins, and added some additional links. 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 Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – 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.
