Telegram turns first profit in 11 years
Social media app Telegram is profitable for the first time after paying down “a meaningful share” of some $2 billion (R37.1 billion) in debt, CEO Pavel Durov said in a post on X Monday.
The milestone comes as the messaging service faces increasing scrutiny for aiding the spread of misinformation and illegal content such as child sexual abuse materials.
