Funding
Telegram Hands Over User Data to German Police - Mental Outlaw |
The company was initially supported by founding CEO Pavel Durov's personal funds after the sale of his stake in VK. After that it collected $1.7 billion from investors such as Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, and Benchmark. In March 2024, Telegram sold an additional $330 million in bonds, making it more of a corporation.[7]
Ads
In 2017, in an attempt to monetize Telegram, the company used crypto to to start a native cryptocurrency "Gram" and earn money from users.[8] Telegram has stated that the company will never serve advertisements in private chats. They reversed that policy in 2021.[9]
Enemy image
Due to Telegram’s privacy reputation, along with its calls for free speech, the site has appeared in ccm for promotion of illegal child porn, murder and arms smuggling, in particular in enemy image countries so to speak, such as Iran, Russia and Turkey.[10][11][12]
Peurto Rico Riots
Telegram was the main subject surrounding the 2019 Puerto Rico riots that ended up in the resignation of then-Governor Ricardo Rosselló. Hundreds of pages of a group chat between Rosselló and members of his staff were leaked. The messages were considered vulgar, racist, and homophobic, with members of the chat discussing how they would use the media to target potential political opponents.[13]
