According to the article, you can upload as many files as you wish, each up to 1.5G in size to be hosted and shared publicly by telegram and you can do so anonymously. No other IM system allows for this.

- rostigerpudel 9y agoThank you for pointing that out. I was not aware that the content is actually stored on Telegram's servers. The first example picture looked like typical link-sharing in some IM channel and I kind of overlooked the download buttons. Still, that does not change my critique of the article's style.
