When your CEO is detained on charges related to illegal content it wouldn’t seem to be a great time for a social media business. For Telegram, at least, the business is showing signs of life. In 2024, it broke a profit for the first time and revenue topped $1b. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/23/t...

When Ukraine's government needed help fighting Russian disinfo on Telegram earlier this year, it turned to Apple. The platform, using the leverage of its app store, has had more influence on Telegram than anyone, even nation states.
