يراودني في أحلامي، أو قل كوابيسي هالبوت، يخيَّل لي الصبية وهي ترفُل فيه أو مرَّتها الأولى لمَّا ركضت فرحًا، مرَّة أولى لن تكرر؛ لأنها قد لا تسير بعدها، وفرحةً تستحيل كمدًا وألمًا، إلى اللَّه العظيم المشتكى، إلى اللَّه الكبير الملتجى، إلى اللَّه نشكو ما وقع بنا من البلوى، وليذكر الدهر أن في زماننا من ربط الحجر على بطنه جوعًا، وآخر يبحث بين المطاعم ضجرًا..

Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised.
