On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. I want a secure messaging app, should I use Telegram? "He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering.
