🎭 WhatsApp encryption is a giant fraud.

🇺🇸 The state of Texas just sued WhatsApp for lying to users about privacy — because WhatsApp employees have access to “virtually all” private messages.

Now we know what WhatsApp’s founder meant when he said he “sold his users’ privacy.”

Stay safe — stay Telegram! 📱

✈️ This rebranding will pave the way for what comes next.

⏳ The transition will take around 3 weeks.

💪 TON remains the name of the blockchain.

📣 Full details in the @contest channel.

⛔️ The UK government wants to ban social media for children under 16.

But banning social media for kids only puts them in greater danger.

They will be pushed to use VPNs — and unlock far worse illegal content.

We’ve seen this before.

When the Russian government banned Telegram, 95% of Russian teenagers kept using it. They just moved to VPNs. Same in Iran.

Parents already have the tools to restrict their kids’ digital habits: parental controls, screen-time limits — or no smartphone at all.

🤦‍♂️ Instead, many parents give toddlers iPads just to keep them quiet.

No amount of government regulation will fix that.

Under the new law, all social media users in the UK will have to “prove” they’re over 16 — with an ID, face scan or bank card.

🚨 Thousands in the UK are already arrested for political posts every year.

Is this really about protecting children — or identifying more people to arrest?

P. S. More about digital freedom in my speech — the source material for our $200,000 clipping contest.

🚫 India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.

This punishes 150 million ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.

And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.

🛡 We’ve done a lot to help fix the problem — even though its source is not Telegram.

Over the past few weeks, we removed hundreds of channels sharing leaked exam materials and related scams in India.

We’ve also been making the “edited” label more visible to prevent backdating scams.

🏳️ Telegram is a force for good. Banning it — even temporarily — is a mistake.

🩵 Telegram now has a Rich Text Editor.

It supports tables, headings, inline media, lists, AI content, formulas, and more.

😈 Messaging apps will never be the same!

🎠 Telegram now supports carousels

One small step for messaging, one giant leap toward turning cat photos into keynote presentations. 😺

🌍 This summer will see the largest rollout of a non-custodial crypto wallet in human history.

⚡️Instant zero-fee crypto transactions for over a billion users are about to become reality.

💎 We're bringing a native non-custodial Gram wallet to every Telegram app! 🏳️

🇬🇪 Very impressed with Georgia.

🏔 The country is known for its warm people, ancient culture, local food and epic landscapes.

But it doesn’t stop there.

📈 Thanks to its government’s business-friendly policies, Georgia is becoming a major business hub.

❎️ The country’s economy doubled in 5 years and is still growing by 8% a year.

💼 International tech companies pay 0% corporate tax and just 5% on dividends and salaries.

Georgia is seriously underrated as a place to visit and do business.

I'll be back very soon! ✈️

💣 Russia has designated me as a “terrorist” for refusing its demands for mass surveillance and censorship on Telegram.

Under Russian law, I’m banned from “publishing information on the Internet” 😌

Russian officials have clearly got confused about who can ban whom from the Internet 😉

🧠 The 2026 International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence starts today.

As a token of support for those who will reinvent our civilization, we'll issue 🏆 240 exclusive Intelligence Cups to the winners.

💵 We guarantee minimum buyback prices ($1,000 per Gold Cup, etc.), but the cups' limited supply may make them worth much more on the secondary market.

Good luck, AI coders! 🍀
