❤️ Loving Telegram Android 🤖

🤝 Telegram has become the sponsor of Codeforces — the largest competitive programming platform in the world.

⚡ CodeForces organizes over 100 coding contests every year and has 4 million contestants signed up.

🌱 Since 2010, I've supported Codeforces through the companies I started.

🆙 But this year will be special. Its founder Mike wants to bring Codeforces to the next level — and we'll be happy to help him do that 🤝

Un estudiante de secundaria acaba de ganar $20,000 con un Regalo de Telegram .

Jonathan He , un medallista de oro de la IOI clasificado #7 en el mundo, vendió su Algorithm Cup — un NFT que entregamos a los mejores jóvenes programadores este mes — por 💎 15,000 Grams .

Me alegro por él. Es una suma significativa para alguien que todavía está en la escuela, y sospecho que es una pequeña fracción de lo que llegará a construir.

Hace 20 años, $20K fueron suficientes para que lanzara mi primera empresa. En pocos meses, había alcanzado 1M de usuarios y recaudado $12M con una valoración de $60M . 💸

¡Espero que algunos de los ganadores de este año den a sus Grams un uso similar! 📈

🚨 Two years ago, I was detained in Paris by police for 3 days — the longest they can hold someone before charging them.

In an unprecedented move, French authorities accused the head of a major platform of crimes committed by its users.

That investigation is still ongoing, although it makes less sense with each passing year.

Why?

Because we now have extensive evidence that Telegram was neither worse than other popular platforms at moderation, nor the worst at cooperating with authorities.

So why was Telegram singled out?

Over the last two years, we have seen a pattern emerge in multiple countries: Telegram is quietly pressured to grant political favors — such as illegal censorship or surveillance. When we refuse, local media and “non-governmental” organizations launch orchestrated campaigns portraying Telegram as a cesspool of crime, from child pornography to terrorism.

Our moderation is no worse than that of other major platforms. Yet these campaigns instill the idea that Telegram should be persecuted or restricted.

Suddenly, officials start caring about crime and protecting children — but only on platforms that reject their secret political demands. Platforms that accept such deals get away with almost anything — including literally selling ads promoting child pornography.

Is the French investigation against me political? It certainly fits the pattern we see elsewhere, mostly in authoritarian countries. And it definitely raises questions .

In time, this investigation may itself be investigated — especially now that Macron’s war against free speech is facing pushback. This month, France’s Constitutional Council struck down his social media ban for children under 15 on freedom-of-expression grounds.

In the end, freedom and truth will prevail ✊
