Should Telegram be shut down for being a proxy app?
Telegram is a messaging app that offers end-to-end encryption for its users’ messages, which means that the messages are encrypted in a way that makes them difficult for anyone other than the sender and recipient to read. Telegram also offers the ability for users to create “secret chats” in which messages are automatically deleted after a certain amount of time has passed.
Telegram has been used by some people as a proxy app, meaning that it can be used to bypass internet censorship in countries where certain websites or services are blocked. However, it is not solely a proxy app and has many other features and uses.
Whether or not Telegram should be shut down for being a proxy app is a matter of debate. Some people argue that the app’s ability to bypass internet censorship is important for freedom of expression and access to information, while others argue that the app can be used to facilitate illegal activities and should be shut down as a result. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to shut down Telegram would depend on the laws and regulations of the specific country where it is being used.
Why is the Telegram app not as popular as WhatsApp when it’s way better than WhatsApp?
Telegram is definitely feature-rich when compared to WhatsApp:
- Allows sending images and videos without compression
- Allows sending files up to 1.5 GB against WhatsApp’s 16 MB.
- A group size limit of 200, with a supergroup feature that allows up to 5000 members! (Supergroup has its own fantastic set of features, like forwarding earlier messages to new members of the group)
- Allows chatting with usernames (if you don’t want to send your number to someone)
- Secret chats
- Saves everything on the cloud (you can even chat with yourself to save things on the cloud)
- You can access Telegram from multiple platforms independently (unlike WhatsApp, where you can’t log in from your PC unless your phone is also connected to the internet)
