"You celebrate Christmas today, and at the same time in thousands of towns and villages people are celebrating the same holiday. This Christmas holiday, which should be a holiday of joy, but today, as never before, becomes a moment of remembrance of that great man who, more than a thousand years ago, with his holy and pure idea, entered his time, filled with filth and moral decay. We must remember that he who then, whip in hand, drove the merchants and moneylenders out of the temple, fell victim to the same dark power of gold, that viper-serpent offspring, which today again enslaves the German people and the peoples of the whole earth, poisoning them with moral decay and bringing, above all, our people closer to complete collapse. His work and his aspiration - peace for people on earth - have remained unfinished to this day, and from this remembrance we must recognize the necessity of the struggle to achieve true peace, for the sake of which every great man died as a martyr of his idea on the cross."

On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. But because group chats and the channel features are not end-to-end encrypted, Galperin said user privacy is potentially under threat. Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours. Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals.
