继在印度新设 DC5 的 CDN 节点(AS44907、上游为 TATA 与 Bharti Airtel)以后，Telegram 疑似在芬兰赫尔辛基新增 CDN 节点（AS211157，上游为 RETN）。

«Free»

That’s “old” (it’s called free since the day they improved stickers’ previews)

They use the word free because there exist packs which are "Premium" (like emoji packs)

而且咱就是说杜叔叔开的玩笑话也能在不加任何额外说明的情况下发成新闻，Telegram 怎么可能是国内 Android 下载量最高的应用程序 😅

在 Telegram 中，如果不在“Privacy and Security”设置中打开“Disable filtering”选项，R-18 等敏感内容的频道或群组是进不去的。而这个选项由于合规要求，在商店版的 App 中不会显示，只有官网版本才会显示。
但是之前有人使用官网版本（TDesktop、macOS、Web 网页版）也找不到这个选项，一直觉得奇怪。今天一个群友试了一个下午终于找到答案：他的 Profile 中设置的生日是 2023 年，只要设置到 18 年前的日期，这个选项就会显示了。
如果有同样困扰的朋友，除了检查 Telegram 是不是从官网下的（而不是应用商店）之外，也要注意一下自己有没有“满 18 岁”。另外由于一些国家或地区的限制，当地电话注册的账号可能也不能看到这个选项。

Telegram Demands All Bot Developers to Sell Paid Features Using Its New Currency — Telegram Stars

Telegram is sending out messages to bot developers, requiring them to switch any third party payment services to Telegram Stars when receiving payments for digital goods and services. There is a three week deadline, due on June 12. Telegram explains this decision was made due to pressure from Apple and its App Store guidelines.

The new rules have sparked numerous concerns for developers, especially due to the fact developers will only receive payouts in TON. The @tginfo team tells everything we know about Telegram Stars yet and voices questions and concerns developers have.

We also invite bot developers to express their opinion on this change in comments.

URGENT Action Required

Dear Bot Developer,

Apple has informed Telegram that @fStikBot is in violation of App Review Guidelines 4.7 and 3.1.1, because it accepts payments for digital goods and services directly from customers without relying on Apple's in-app purchase mechanism.

To ensure that Telegram bots/mini apps such as yours continue operating without interruption on all platforms, we have developed a way for third-party developers on Telegram to accept payments from their customers that is compliant with the App Store and Play Store policies.

To this end, we are rolling out a new in-app currency, Telegram Stars, which users will be able to acquire from Telegram using standard Apple and Google in-app purchases and then use to buy digital goods and services from you. Developers will be able to review their Telegram Stars balance and withdraw them at any time using the TON blockchain.

Starting on June 12, all payments for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps will have to be carried out exclusively in Telegram Stars. Since Telegram has to follow the Guidelines imposed on us by the app stores, failure to comply with these changes will result in the suspension of @fStikBot for most of your customers.

We will publish the full updated API documentation within the next few days, but you can already prepare your bots and mini-apps for the upcoming changes. To accept payments for digital goods and services, you will need to use the sendInvoice or createInvoiceLink methods with the currency field set to "XTR" and the provider_token field left empty.

We expect these changes to positively impact the conversion rate for payments from customers in most markets.

Payments for physical goods and services remain unchanged.

More details will be published on @botnews soon.
