La función Mensajes guardados lanzada por Telegram hace 7 años se ha convertido desde entonces en un estándar de la industria.

Pero ahora es el momento de que la industria vaya más allá del simple concepto de “enviarme un mensaje a mí mismo” que introdujimos hace años. La semana pasada, convertimos Mensajes guardados en un servicio de Marcadores/Favoritos/Notas avanzado pero fácil de usar, con nuevas opciones para organizar y ver el contenido guardado.

Esto se suma a muchas otras funciones que lanzamos el mes pasado. Hablando de eso, personalmente me encanta la animación de los nuevos mensajes únicos de voz y video: es puro arte. ¡Disfrutar!

Now to the question, why putting Mark Zuckerberg in prison and not Pavel Durov?

Well, we already said that some bad things are available on Telegram too, BUT TELEGRAM IS NOT SUGGESTING YOU SUCH THINGS!

If for example you want to discover a specific topic, you need to search for that (*)

Telegram is not perfect, but compared to Facebook Telegram is getting better and better from day to day. There is a lot we need to improve

etc.

Most important obviously is that Telegram start to ban spam / terrorism / pedo and specific porn things.

Does Telegram need to ban all porn? In our opinion not, because

a) people check porn, no matter if on WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, TikTok (Soft PornHub 2.0) or other website / social networks ... So if porn is banned on Telegram, they would still watch that somewhere else. PORN IS EVERYWHERE! and mostly EVERYONE is watching porn!

b) porn is not directly related to more criminality!

https://xn--r1a.website/RapeTelegram/1040
Yes, for some people maybe it can increase criminality, but not for everyone!

Remember, better watching a porn video, than raping a girl! So as always, it depends!

https://xn--r1a.website/SuicideRape/105

c) like said previously, they don't suggest directly porno (*except with their shitty search results BUT you need to open such channel! so it's your decision!). There is no for you or similar things on Telegram! YOU NEED TO SEARCH! Pavel said that clearly too!

Plus we already noticed, that Telegram is hiding many porn channels from the search results. So they are improving, but still years away ... even the fact that they ignore our requests related to ban specific channels ...

With that, we cannot ignore the fact that porn spam IS A PROBLEM ON TELEGRAM! no matter if Italians opening (empty) 10000000 channels all the same with shitty links ...

So it's time that Telegram HIDE per default porn! and ONLY BY ID VERIFICATION you can check porn! Otherwise is the same bullshit like TikTok, saying TikTok is not used by kids ...

Again, NO PRIVACY FOR CRIMINALS!
https://xn--r1a.website/EducateYourKids/4
Terrorism and criminality need to be banned, if government request that and such requests are done with sense ...

Plus, before uploading porn, YOU NEED TO VERIFY YOUR ID WITH TELEGRAM! So once pedo is uploaded, police can exactly arrest such people!
Again, it's time that Telegram remains Telegram, but with less criminality ... where Telegram is working with the police to put criminals in prison!
https://xn--r1a.website/grannouncements/403

Pedo is available on Meta too! and mostly pedo from Meta is uploaded to Telegram
https://xn--r1a.website/WhatsAppStop/58

Plus we have the problem about illegal movies and spam
https://xn--r1a.website/DefenceTelegram/1212

No matter what, even if Telegram has such problems, Telegram like said is improving and is years away from what is happening on other socials .... even by considering the fact that mostly no one is using Telegram and searching channels on Telegram is huge complex and currently works bad (this means even related to bad channels, which in such case is a pro).

Last point: Facebook keeps all settings opened per default (and we hate we always need to hide such things one by one) ... with Telegram is not really the case and you can block that. No matter, would be better that Telegram would set calls, groups to "only my friends" per default, because we all know for example the crypto spam on Telegram ...

So again, Meta in prison!
https://xn--r1a.website/GenRevolutionOfficial/441

Pavel Durov it's time to ban Telegram channels and keep criminality away! https://xn--r1a.website/BanTelegramChannels

We are sorry that we need to open a channel for that, BUT PAVEL DUROV IGNORED OUR REQUESTS (but even from other people) RELATED TO CRIMES FOR YEARS! It's time to say BASTA! It's time to improve Telegram support too!

We gave you enough time to fix such issue

😝 Next month, channel owners on Telegram can start receiving financial rewards from their work.

Broadcast channels on Telegram generate 1 trillion views monthly. Currently, only 10% of these views are monetized with Telegram Ads — a promotion tool designed with privacy in mind.

In March, the Telegram Ad Platform will officially open to all advertisers in nearly a hundred new countries. Channel owners in these countries will start receiving 50% of any revenue that Telegram makes from displaying ads in their channels.

To ensure ad payments and withdrawals are fast and secure, we will exclusively use the TON blockchain. Similar to our approach with Telegram usernames on Fragment, we will sell ads and share revenue with channel owners in Toncoin. This will create a virtuous circle, in which content creators will be able to either cash out their Toncoins — or reinvest them in promoting and upgrading their channels 🤑

After my last post, some people expressed concern that, as a result of ad sales exclusively for TON, Telegram may end up holding an unhealthy share of Toncoin, which will be too concentrated for a decentralized ecosystem. We acknowledge these concerns and have come up with a solution.

To limit Telegram’s share of TON at ≈10% of the supply, we’ll be selling the upcoming surplus of our TON holdings to long-term investors — under 1-4 years lockup and vesting plan, but at a discount to the market price. This way free-floating TON will get locked up, stabilizing the ecosystem and reducing volatility.

Potential investors in TON have been actively trying to reach out to us through various means. To make the process of any TON sales from Telegram fair and streamlined, we set up a new email address investors@telegram.org, where large investors ($1M+) can express their interest. Thanks to the participation of more long-term holders, TON will remain stable and decentralized.

Después de mi última publicación, algunas personas expresaron su preocupación de que, como resultado de las ventas de anuncios exclusivamente para TON, Telegram pueda terminar teniendo una participación poco saludable de Toncoin, que estará demasiado concentrada para un ecosistema descentralizado. Reconocemos estas preocupaciones y hemos encontrado una solución.

Para limitar la participación de Telegram en TON a ≈10% del suministro, venderemos el próximo excedente de nuestras tenencias de TON a inversionistas a largo plazo, bajo un plan de bloqueo y adquisición de derechos de 1 a 4 años, pero con un descuento sobre el precio de mercado. . De esta manera, las TON flotantes quedarán bloqueadas, estabilizando el ecosistema y reduciendo la volatilidad.

Los inversores potenciales en TON han intentado activamente comunicarse con nosotros a través de diversos medios. Para que el proceso de cualquier venta de TON desde Telegram sea justo y simplificado, configuramos una nueva dirección de correo electrónico inversores@telegram.org , donde los grandes inversores (más de 1 millón de dólares) pueden expresar su interés. Gracias a la participación de más titulares a largo plazo, TON permanecerá estable y descentralizado.

10,000 subscribers of mine are now happily enjoying their Telegram Premium thanks to this giveaway I prepaid on Fragment a few hours ago. Congratulations! 🥳

As a result, my channel reached Level 9 and I was able to set a fancy emoji status ☕️ and a wallpaper suitable for a @nerd 🤓

This February, we redefined many-to-many communication by adding 9 new features for group chats.

Now, groups can publish stories and save them as posts on their profile pages for all their members to enjoy. Group chats can also set their unique wallpapers and statuses, both visible to all their members. Group appearance can now be customized in detail: for example, group admins can choose a color and a logo for the group profile cover, or the style of links.

All these features are already available and are unlocked by group members who 'boost' their favorite chats (boosters can get special perks in the groups). Groups that prefer not to ask their members for boosts can instead conduct giveaways, similar to what I did in this channel today.

We wanted to include 5 more features in this update, but the App Store Gods were not in our favor. You will see these features very soon in our March update! 🍀

Millions of people have been signing up and sharing content on Telegram in the last hour while Instagram and Facebook were down. Interestingly, Telegram is more reliable than these services — despite spending several times less on infrastructure per user.

We also have about 1000 times (!) fewer full-time employees than Meta, but manage to launch new features and innovate faster.

Throughout 2023, Telegram was unavailable for a total of only 9 minutes out of the year’s 525,600 minutes. That’s a 99.999983% uptime 🏅

👨‍💻 This week we launched the first batch of Telegram Business features. Users can now convert their personal Telegram accounts into business accounts. As a result, they will be able to add their location and opening hours, organize chats with color labels, use automatic greeting/away messages and shortcuts for quick replies.

That’s just the start — we are shipping more Telegram Business features this month. One of these features will revolutionize how people interact with chatbots. Telegram Business accounts will be able to seamlessly add chatbots as their invisible secretaries to respond to all or certain chats. With AI, these chatbots can bring customer service automation to an entirely new level.

The new Bot APIs for developers will become available later this month, all for free. Stay tuned — more exciting stuff is coming for businesses and developers on Telegram this season.

Fearless curiosity drives innovation.

Decidí volver a hablar con la prensa para informar mejor a los mercados financieros sobre el increíble crecimiento y progreso de Telegram.

Mi última entrevista fue con Bloomberg en 2017, pero el Financial Times es el único periódico que leo en papel.

All large social media apps are easy targets for criticism due to the content they host. I can’t recall any major social platform whose moderation has been consistently praised by traditional media.

The media coverage of Meta's moderation efforts has been particularly negative for most of its history. Interestingly enough, Meta was also the first social media company to have reached a trillion-dollar-plus valuation.

Telegram will likely have to go through similar growth stages before it surpasses legacy platforms. As we rapidly rise in scale and significance, we shall solve any potential challenges the same way we do everything else — with efficiency, innovation and respect for privacy and freedom of speech.

Todas las grandes aplicaciones de redes sociales son blanco fácil de críticas debido al contenido que albergan. No recuerdo ninguna plataforma social importante cuya moderación haya sido elogiada constantemente por los medios tradicionales.

La cobertura mediática de los esfuerzos de moderación de Meta ha sido particularmente negativa durante la mayor parte de su historia. Curiosamente, Meta también fue la primera empresa de redes sociales que alcanzó una valoración de más de un billón de dólares.

Es probable que Telegram tenga que pasar por etapas de crecimiento similares antes de superar las plataformas heredadas. A medida que crezcamos rápidamente en escala e importancia, resolveremos cualquier desafío potencial de la misma manera que hacemos todo lo demás: con eficiencia, innovación y respeto por la privacidad y la libertad de expresión.

💰 Last week, we issued $330M worth of bonds to ensure Telegram can keep expanding at an accelerated speed.

This bond offering was oversubscribed, and we were delighted to have global funds of the highest caliber with impeccable reputations as participants. The terms of the bonds (when adjusted for the Federal Reserve rate) were the most favorable for Telegram in the history of our company.

I am proud that every time we issue bonds we get better at this process. The increased demand for our bonds shows that global financial institutions value Telegram’s growth in audience and monetization. This will further solidify our position as an independent platform that is able to challenge the “Goliaths” of our industry.
