đź’¬ Telegram hits 900mn users and nears profitability as founder considers IPO
Telegram has grown to become one of the world’s most popular social media apps while making “hundreds of millions of dollars” in revenues, owner Pavel Durov told the FT.
“We are hoping to become profitable next year, if not this year,” said the Russia-born founder in his first public interview since 2017.
The company has “been offered $30bn-plus valuations” from potential investors including “global late-stage tech funds,” but Durov ruled out selling the platform while it explores a future initial public offering.

In 1983, America's biggest daytime talk show did something that's never happened since.
It spent an hour on a live debate on the DPT shot and vaccine mandates. Injured kids were in the studio, and the host asked what no host would dare ask today:
"Why does it have to be a law? Should we have the freedom to decide?"
🇺🇸 A Red Baron delivery worker went viral after snapping at a social media prankster who pretended to steal $10 from his phone via Apple Pay while he was working.
The father of four broke down over his exhausting schedule and financial struggles, prompting the internet to rally behind him. A GoFundMe has since raised more than $500,000, while Red Baron publicly backed the employee and confirmed his job is safe.
