Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, shared a bold statement emphasizing Telegram’s commitment to freedom of speech. While Durov didn’t explicitly name anyone, his remarks appear to reference recent announcements by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg about reducing censorship on Meta platforms.
Zuckerberg had attributed this policy shift to recent political changes, including Trump's election win, calling it a "tipping point" for free speech.
In his statement, Durov highlighted Telegram’s long-standing support for freedom of speech, independent of political climates, and criticized rival platforms, saying, "The real test of their values will come when political winds change again. It’s easy to support something when you risk nothing."

Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy." The picture was mixed overseas. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.6%, under pressure from U.S. regulatory scrutiny on New York-listed Chinese companies. Stocks were more buoyant in Europe, where Frankfurt’s DAX surged 1.4%. There was another possible development: Reuters also reported that Ukraine said that Belarus could soon join the invasion of Ukraine. However, the AFP, citing a Pentagon official, said the U.S. hasn’t yet seen evidence that Belarusian troops are in Ukraine. The regulator said it has been undertaking several campaigns to educate the investors to be vigilant while taking investment decisions based on stock tips. But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website.
