⛔️ The UK government wants to ban social media for children under 16. But banning social media for kids only puts them in greater danger. They will be pushed to use VPNs — and unlock far worse illegal content. We’ve seen this before. When the Russian government banned Telegram, 95% of Russian teenagers kept using it. They just moved to VPNs. Same in Iran. Parents already have the tools to restrict their kids’ digital habits: parental controls, screen-time limits — or no smartphone at all. 🤦‍♂️ Instead, many parents give toddlers iPads just to keep them quiet. No amount of government regulation will fix that. Under the new law, all social media users in the UK will have to “prove” they’re over 16 — with an ID, face scan or bank card. 🚨 Thousands in the UK are already arrested for political posts every year. Is this really about protecting children — or identifying more people to arrest? P. S. More about digital freedom in my speech — the source material for our $200,000 clipping contest.

    🏳️ Gram Wallet in Telegram is ready and is now accessible to a select group of users. 🤩 We'll be gradually rolling it out to our billion+ users over the next couple of weeks. ⚡️ Thanks to the validators who approved the smart contract that powers it, future upgrades of the wallet won't require painful migrations. This is just one of the innovations we've built to make non-custodial wallets usable ✨

    A high-school student just made $20,000 from a Telegram Gift. Jonathan He, an IOI gold medalist ranked #7 in the world, sold his Algorithm Cup — an NFT we gave to the top young coders this month — for 💎 15,000 Grams. Happy for him. It's a meaningful sum for someone still in school, and I suspect a small fraction of what he'll go on to build. 20 years ago, $20K was enough for me to launch my first company. Within months, it had reached 1M users and raised $12M at a $60M valuation. 💸 I hope some of this year's winners put their Grams to similar use! 📈
