No Premium - no access to your account?

A scandal has erupted in the English-speaking community: allegedly, Telegram decided to make money on the forced purchase of Premium.

A Reddit user complained that the messenger requires you to buy a subscription to log into your account:

"He refuses to text my number and asks me to get Premium if I want to log in? What kind of nonsense is this...?

"What a cheap way to get users to sign up for Premium," ricardomilos090 complained (don't google the name without the numbers, please!).

This came as a shock to the user, as there was no other way to reset the unknown email address that he had not linked to his account.

πŸ’˜ The interlocutors of the topic supported the victim with their stories about being ignored by moderators, the inability to log into their hacked accounts, and so on.

πŸ’˜ However, the thing is that sending one-time SMS codes for entry in the country of the complainant (presumably India) is very expensive. Premium would help the messenger to recoup its costs.

πŸ’˜ Telegram has recently started implementing a weekly Premium subscription , which may be useful for users from such countries. In this case, both the messenger and the user will not lose much money.

User reports are processed by Telegram’s Β«toolsΒ», moderators, and, if necessary, artificial intelligence/machine learning models, these models had been deployed by the end of the reporting period (February 29, 2024), and since then the company has significantly expanded the use of AI and machine learning technologies.

- Subscribers of channels or members of groups who Β«do not engage in administration, direct distribution, or promotion of prohibited content, even if they are members of communities where such content may be present, will not be automatically bannedΒ».

βœ‰οΈ Indian court orders blocking of Proton Mail

On Tuesday, the Karnataka High Court directed the Indian government to block Proton Mail, a popular email service known for its enhanced security, following a legal complaint filed by New Delhi-based M Moser Design Associates. The local firm alleged that its employees had received emails containing obscene and vulgar content sent via Proton Mail.

In its complaint filed in January, the New Delhi-based firm called for the regulation or blocking of Proton Mail in India, as the email service reportedly refused to share details about the sender of the allegedly offensive emails, despite a police complaint.

The block of Proton Mail has yet to take effect
