"For the south to neglect to employ every instrumentality appertaining to the production of a vigorous, healthy, native, loyal and beneficent literature; for her to depend almost exclusively upon foreign sources for her reading, and, outside of local politics, for her thinking, would be to manifest a fatal hesitation-to throw away a magnificent future-to doom herself to dwell amid the defilements and abominations of a detested past, and famishing in arid plains, to feed upon apples and ashes."

You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. Perpetrators of such fraud use various marketing techniques to attract subscribers on their social media channels. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands. "He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said.
