URGENT Action Required

Dear Bot Developer,

As previously announced, Apple has informed Telegram that @fStikBot is in violation of App Review Guidelines 4.7 and 3.1.1, because it accepts payments for digital goods and services without relying on Apple's in-app purchase mechanism – this has never been allowed on Telegram.

To allow all affected bots to continue operating without interruption, we are rolling out Telegram Stars, an in-app currency users will be able to acquire from Telegram using standard Apple and Google in-app purchases and then use to buy digital goods and services from you.

Starting on June 12, all payments for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps will have to be carried out exclusively in Telegram Stars. If digital goods and services can be purchased for your bot or mini app on other platforms (including from your external website), the same goods and services must also be available for purchase with Telegram Stars, in compliance with Apple Review Guideline 3.1.3(b).

⚠️ Note that payments for physical goods and services are unaffected by this change and can continue operating as usual.

For more details, see this post on @BotNews and the updated API documentation.

What will be the next color of the star?

欧盟调查 Telegram 用户规模

2024-05-29 22:05 by 抓落叶

欧盟据报道正在调查消息应用 Telegram 在当地的用户规模。Telegram 自称该应用在欧盟地区只有 4100 万用户，而根据欧盟的 Digital Services Act(DSA)监管法律，欧盟用户规模超过 4500 万的平台被视为是 VLOP（超大型在线平台），将面临更严格的监管。欧盟监管机构怀疑当地用户数远不止 4100 万。爱沙尼亚总理 Kaja Kallas 认为 Telegram 应被归类为 VLOP，与 Facebook 和 X 类似。如果 Telegram 被归类为 VLOP，那么它可能需要对其服务托管的内容承担责任。Telegram 被俄罗斯广泛用于传播虚假信息和其它宣传信息，已故瓦格纳集团领导人 Yevgeny Prigozhin 就是通过 Telegram 发表反俄声明。
