Me : Hold my Telegram 📱

Millions of people have been signing up and sharing content on Telegram in the last hour while Instagram and Facebook were down. Interestingly, Telegram is more reliable than these services — despite spending several times less on infrastructure per user.

We also have about 1000 times (!) fewer full-time employees than Meta, but manage to launch new features and innovate faster.

Throughout 2023, Telegram was unavailable for a total of only 9 minutes out of the year’s 525,600 minutes. That’s a 99.999983% uptime 🏅

Telegram cooperation with Malaysia

On Saturday, March 2, the Malaysian Minister of Communications held a personal meeting with Pavel Durov in Dubai. The Durov Code drew attention to the news.

The main topics of the meeting were platform regulation and the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence. Durov expressed interest in further discussions about the possibility of cooperation with the Malaysian government to optimize the regulatory aspects of the platform and promised to expand Telegram's activities in the country.

Pavel Durov also announced the platform’s readiness to cooperate with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to improve regulation and rally forces in the fight against fraud and gambling.

Last May, Malaysia's communications minister reported that Telegram was "unwilling to cooperate" with the ministry, despite numerous requests for a meeting.

Statistics for 2022 indicate that Malaysia has 32 million internet users, of which 28 million are social media users. Telegram is used by 56% of internet users in the country, giving a rough estimate of between 15 and 18 million users in Malaysia.
