🤗 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today, Telegram celebrates its 12th anniversary! Every new year for the messenger marks a new chapter.

The events of the past year, including the prosecution of Pavel Durov by French authorities and attempts by Western European governments to interfere in elections via Telegram, prove just one thing:

💘 The messenger and its founder remain committed to their values, staunchly defending everyone’s right to privacy and freedom of speech.

As part of today’s celebration, Durov expressed hope that Telegram will continue to follow the advice of his father:

💘 Lead by example, setting trends for the messaging world. Be a positive force, bringing joy to our users. Prioritize conscience, staying true to our principles.

One could say that a billion users can’t be wrong. Durov’s Code hopes Telegram never lets them down. Here’s to your continued success!
