Clarification on the law of digital services Previously, we wrote that, due to the size of the audience, Telegram is not subject to Digital Services Act (DSA). It is important to point out that the law has its own requirements for different organizations.…
Telegram Is Obligated to Assign a Representative in the EU
“Telegram is not a very large online platform, designated as such, and therefore DSA applies to Telegram as of the 17th of February 2024, this is the date when they will indeed, by which they need indeed to nominate a legal representative”, — Johannes Bahrke stated in response to a question from Oliver Grimm, a correspondent from an Austrian newspaper Die Presse. Oliver is concerned by violence, hate speech, and disinformation content found on Telegram and TikTok.
If a platform doesn't comply with the Act in time, the European Commission may fine it with up to 6% of its annual turnover. In extreme cases, it can even ban the platform in the EU.
This requirement is a part of EU's Digital Services Act, which was already enforced for large social media this August. The law improves the regulation of social networks and search engines in instances where users post illegal content. The Act requires platforms to combat unlawful content and hate speech, while also protects platforms from liability if they moderate the content responsibly.
The DSA doesn't force the platforms to remove unwanted content automatically, but demands the social networks to properly moderate it by any possible means and report their methods and results back to the government.

Telegram Statistics Outages
Our followers report that the stats were unstable for the last couple of days.
Sometimes the stats screen keeps loading indefinitely, and sometimes it opens, but displays incorrect or incomplete data: for example, counters for new and leaving subscribers for the last 24 hours show zeros instead of actual figures.
In recent months stats failures have become almost commonplace for administrators: long-lasting outages in the statistics engine were observed on the 20th of July and on the 30th of September

Mentions of Telegram Premium Giveaways Functionality on Fragment
@tginfo noticed Telegram Premium giveaways functionality added to Fragment.com's codebase. The change was detected thanks to @tgcrawl's automated analysis. Earlier we've already reported about this feature surfacing in Telegram for macOS localization files.
The Fragment platform is considered to be Telegram's partner, designated to provide an option to buy Telegram's Premium subscription, usernames, and anonymous numbers using TON cryptocurrency. All the services can be paid for using QR codes, which are supposed to be scanned in the Tonkeeper wallet.
Other noteworthy mentions in the code
• Ability to specify the number of subscriptions.
• Ability to specify the number of months — probably for Premium duration.
• There's a possible fee for the giveaway functionality.
• You can find Premium recipients using search.
• The UI has mentions for boosts, but their context is unclear.
It's important to keep in mind that the provided info is a set of assumptions based off the Fragment's code that surfaced, so the functionality may be significantly different on its release. At the moment of writing, the mentioned code was already removed.

Telegram Is Working On Citations
The @tginfo editors noticed ongoing work on citations on multiple occasions. This might indicate the feature will appear in future updates.
The Telegram API contains support for quote blocks since 2019, but it never was used in the official apps.
What tells us the feature is being prepared
• Telegram changed the API related to citations, moving it to an unpublished yet Layer 166.
• The Telegram for Android banner from the website shows a screenshot with a different replies UI. In particular, you can see the ❞ icon on one of the messages.

Keep in mind that all the info here is a set of speculations and that there was no official announcement for the feature. Thus, the features may change drastically on release.

Unclickable Images in Link Previews, Worse Forwarding UX, and Other Downgrades
Sometimes Telegram, in favor of new features, overhauls its interface, and not always for the better. Occasionally, they even remove useful features.
This time, the messenger's developers altered the message reply system and link previews — the new interface has done away with some features users had grown accustomed to.
The team at @tginfo reports what features the latest update has either removed or, in our opinion, degraded, and also how Telegram could potentially rectify this.
