Let’s Talk About #Accessibility on #Telegram

My friend José Carlos from the @Telenewstech channel has published an important blog post after several days of testing Telegram with TalkBack, the screen reader used by many blind and visually impaired users.

His findings are concerning: many Telegram features are still not accessible, making the app difficult or even impossible to use for people with vision impairments. As he rightly points out, if these issues are not highlighted, they will continue to be ignored.

This post is a call to action.
It’s not just a critique—it includes detailed feedback and, most importantly, links to two reports on Telegram’s bug and suggestion platform. You can help simply by voting on these reports. It’s quick, free, and could make a real difference.

Vietnam to Block Telegram Over Illegal Activity Concerns

#Vietnam to block #Telegram by June 2, 2025, citing its role in #illegal activities. Authorities claim 68% of Telegram channels in Vietnam involve fraud, drug trafficking, and anti-government content. The app’s encryption and lack of cooperation with local laws fuel scams, prompting the ban.

Vietnam is blocking the Telegram messaging app due to its alleged failure to cooperate with authorities in combating illegal activities.

The Ministry of Science and Technology’s Authority of Telecommunications has instructed telecom providers to implement technical measures to block Telegram by June 2, 2025, following a report from the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention (A05). According to the government, 68% of the 9,600 Telegram channels and groups in Vietnam are involved in harmful activities, including fraud, drug trafficking, terrorism, and anti-government content.

Telegram’s lack of a legal entity in Vietnam and its refusal to share user data for criminal investigations violate local laws, such as Decree No. 147/2024/ND-CP and the Law on Telecommunications, which require cross-border platforms to register and comply with content moderation requests.

Additionally, Telegram has been linked to rising scams in Vietnam. Cybersecurity experts note that its features, like end-to-end encryption and the ability to delete messages for both parties, are exploited by scammers for fraud, phishing, and data theft. Since 2023, authorities have warned about scams involving fake investment schemes, cryptocurrency fraud, and romance scams. For instance, in May 2024, Nam Dinh authorities prosecuted individuals running 50+ Telegram groups with 25,000 members for prostitution and fraud, causing significant financial losses.

This move aligns with Vietnam’s broader push to control online platforms, as seen with regulations requiring user identity verification and content moderation. Critics argue this reflects increasing censorship, while the government claims it’s necessary for national security and public safety.

Telegram Set to Raise $1.5 Billion in Bond Sale Amid CEO’s Legal Troubles

Telegram is raising $1.5B in bonds
• Investors like BlackRock, Citadel & Mubadala are backing the deal
• 9% yield, convertible to shares if Telegram ever IPOs
• Funds will repay 2021 debt maturing next March

Telegram is booming :

- 📇 1B monthly users

- ↗️ $540M profit in 2024 on $1.4B revenue

-📈 Projected $700M+ profit on $2B revenue in 2025

- 15M paid subscribers, doubled in a year

#Telegram is set to raise at least $1.5 billion in a new five-year bond issue on Wednesday, despite its CEO Pavel Durov facing preliminary criminal charges in France for allegedly failing to assist authorities in tackling illegal content on the platform. Telegram and Durov deny the claims, asserting full cooperation with lawful requests.

The bond, offering a 9% yield, will help Telegram buy back debt from its 2021 bond issue maturing in March 2026. Investors include existing bondholders like BlackRock and Mubadala, with new support from hedge fund Citadel and others. The bond offers a convertible option into shares in case of an IPO—though such a move appears unlikely soon due to legal and market conditions.

Despite Durov’s travel restrictions—he remains in #France and was denied permission to visit the U.S.—Telegram’s growth continues. The app reached 1 billion monthly active users in March and now has 15 million paid subscribers, double the previous year.

Telegram posted a 2024 profit of $540 million on $1.4 billion revenue, rebounding from a $173 million loss in 2023. For 2025, it projects over $700 million profit on $2 billion revenue, thanks to monetization strategies like ads, digital in-app purchases, and developer partnerships.


“We complied with all the binding legal requests we received. So up until this day, we don’t understand what we did wrong,”

-Durov


Telegram's strong financials and user growth are keeping investors confident—even as legal uncertainty clouds its leadership.

Take on the Grok–Telegram Partnership

The partnership is set for one year, and as we've all seen, it introduces a fantastic set of features. If implemented effectively, it could be a major enhancement to Telegram, opening up plenty of opportunities for AI integration within the platform.

That said, it’s important to acknowledge that AI needs data to improve and evolve. Fortunately, based on the information provided in the video, only publicly available data and user-prompted inputs are sent to xAI. This means Grok’s integration isn’t overly aggressive when it comes to data collection. Given Telegram’s strong stance on privacy, I believe Durov isn’t likely to sell user data easily, staying true to Telegram’s ethos.

Looking ahead, since this is a one-year partnership, I see three possible paths for Telegram once the term ends:

1. Extend the partnership with Grok (xAI)

2. Collaborate with another AI provider

3. Develop its own AI solution

In my view, the third option is the most fitting for Telegram’s long-term vision. Independence in AI development would align with its values and reduce reliance on external partners. It’s also possible that this partnership is a temporary strategic move to compete with platforms like Meta, while Telegram builds its own AI infrastructure in the background.

Additionally, this move brings natural visibility and promotion from Elon Musk and through X (formerly Twitter), which is a marketing win for Telegram.

For those wondering why Telegram partnered with #xAI instead of ChatGPT—it's simple: #ChatGPT is in a dominant position and has no real incentive to negotiate or collaborate with Telegram. They don’t need #Telegram to succeed—they’re already at the top of the game. If Telegram had integrated ChatGPT, it would have made developing an independent AI to compete with it much harder. So in many ways, this partnership with xAI is a smarter move. It gives Telegram flexibility and keeps the door open for future independence.

Massive Data Breach Exposes 16 Billion Passwords

A major cybersecurity threat has emerged as researchers from Cybernews uncovered a compilation of over 16 billion stolen login credentials in what is now considered the largest-ever credential leak. The data includes user information from leading platforms such as #Google, Facebook, Instagram, #Apple, Gmail, #Telegram, GitHub, and even government portals.

The leaked credentials were sourced from over 30 different databases, many of which were obtained through infostealer malware.

The credentials include a mix of older leaks and newly compromised accounts, indicating ongoing security breaches.

Unlike past leaks, this compilation is more organized and potentially more dangerous due to its accessibility and volume.

Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Reveals Unique Legacy Plan

Telegram CEO and billionaire #Pavel #Durov has revealed that he has fathered over 100 children across 12 countries—some through personal relationships, but most via anonymous sperm donations. His goal: to help address declining birth rates and support fertility initiatives.

In a bold move, Durov announced that his estimated $13.9 billion fortune will be equally divided among all his children, regardless of how they were conceived. However, none of them will inherit the wealth immediately. Instead, his will states that the inheritance will be unlocked 30 years after his death, giving his children the opportunity to grow independently and build their own identities.

This unconventional decision reflects Durov’s lifelong commitment to freedom, privacy, and long-term thinking—values that have shaped both his personal philosophy and the #Telegram platform.

💎 TON Coin Spikes as Demand Soars

Toncoin's price has generally trended upward this week, #rising from approximately $3.25 at the start of the week to current levels around $3.52–$3.63 as of July 31, 2025

Recent gains are likely influenced by positive sentiment following large-scale treasury and institutional adoption news, though broader crypto market factors also contribute.

#Telegram continues to heavily promote the #TON blockchain, integrating it more prominently across its platform features.

📌 1. Pinned for All Users (you can Unpin) (00:01) Grok AI will be pinned by default for every user on Telegram, making it instantly accessible without needing to search or add it manually. Just tap and start Chatting with GrokAI. 🔍 2. Ask Grok via Search…
Telegram 12.0 & Grok Update

Telegram 12.0 was expected to ship with Grok integration, but as of today (Aug 31, 2025) there’s still no confirmation. The deal appears to have stalled, with no signed agreement or official announcement.

This likely means Grok didn’t make it into 12.0 as planned — possibly due to negotiations falling through, strategy changes, or other delays.

For now, the future of #Grok on #Telegram remains uncertain.

Just as we predicted earlier, Telegram seems to be taking the third path developing its own #AI. That’s likely why ,we haven’t seen any AI features yet. The partnership mentioned earlier is only for one year, and as Elon said, no deal has been signed. The real question is : how long will they wait before implementing it? Or is there another AI collaboration planned to fill the gap? What we can be fairly sure of is that Telegram is currently building its own AI, and most likely, Nikolai Durov is either leading the team or playing a major role in its development.
