Quite concerning. IIRC Telegram is based in Russia. And Russia has been trying to ban the app. Maybe they just decided to shut down the company itself. It's within the state's power anyway.
- throwaway84742 9y agoYou IIRC incorrectly. It is not based in Russia. Moreover, its founder got relieved of his business (VKontakte), by a state affiliated oligarch, whereupon he bought a passport from St Kitts and left Russia to never return. So he’s pretty pissed at the regime.
- moeadham 9y agoSadly you are 100% wrong on this one. The founder of Telegram is vehemently anti-russia (government), although him and his brother are Russian.
