From Darov
Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉
I hope you enjoyed the Telegram product updates this December. Stay tuned – we are going to make 3 big announcements in January.
On a less joyful note, Iranian authorities started blocking Telegram in Iran today after we publicly refused to shut down channels of peaceful Iranian protesters, such as @sedaiemardom.
We are proud that Telegram is used by thousands of massive opposition channels all over the world. We consider freedom of speech an undeniable human right, and would rather get blocked in a country by its authorities than limit peaceful expression of alternative opinions.
When it comes to freedom of speech, Telegram is as unrestricted as a mobile app can get. In 2015, after Apple and Google reached out to us in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, we added the simplest Terms of Service theoretically possible in an app: no calls for violence, no porn and no copyright infringement on public broadcast channels.
Since then, Telegram has been blocking hundreds of violent public channels daily (including those reported in @isiswatch), making sure our rules are applied equally and fairly to all players, regardless of their size and political affiliation.
Yesterday we had to suspend @amadnews, a public channel that started calling its subscribers to use Molotov cocktails and firearms against police. The admins of the channel reached out to us after the fact, apologizing for breaking our rules and pledging not to promote violence in the future. As a result, they have been able to reassemble most of their subscribers (800,000) in a new peaceful channel, which we welcomed.
Obviously, our neutrality and refusal to take sides in such conflicts can create powerful enemies. Iranian officials have filed criminal charges against me back in September for letting Telegram spread “uncensored news” and “extremist propaganda”. Today they imposed a block on Telegram – not clear whether permanent or temporary.
And yet, doing the right thing is more important than trying to avoid having enemies. We’re extremely lucky to have been able to consistently apply our principles in 2017. We will continue doing it in 2018 – and beyond.

🍀Starting today,I need to forget what's gone,
Appreciate what still remains , And look forward to what's coming next.
Avoid spending too much time looking for more,instead of appreciating what you already have.
☘Someday, everything will make perfect sense,
So for now,laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears,
And keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.
Dont forget a person's greatest need is to feel appreciated.😊

❤️Scared to be lonely:
Martin Garrix& Dua Lipa
🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
☘It was great at the very start
Hands on each other
Couldn't stand to be far apart
Closer the better
🍁Now we're picking fights
And slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why wonder what for
🍁Why we keep coming back for more
Is it just our bodies?
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
☘Do we need somebody
Just to feel like we're alright?
Is the only reason you're holding me
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Too much time, losing track of us
🍁Where was the real?
Undefined,spiraling out of touch
Forgot how it feels
All the fucked up fights
And slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why wonder what for
☘It's like we keep coming back for more
Is it just our bodies?
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me
☘'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Do we need somebody
Just to feel like we're alright?
Is the only reason you're holding me
🍁'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Even when we know it's wrong
Been somebody better for us all along
☘Tell me, how can we keep holding on? Holding on tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely

🍁A pound of butter🍁
☘Honesty☘
💠There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker.
One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting the right amount,which he wasnt.
Angry about this,he took the farmer to court.
The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure to weigh the butter.
The farmer replied " Honor ,I am primitive. I don't have proper measure,but I do have a scale."
The judge asked," Then how do you weigh the butter?"
The farmer replied;
✅" Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me ,I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him.
Everyday when the baker brings the bread, I put it in the scale and give him the same weight in butter.
If anyone is to be blamed,it is the baker."
🎁Moral of the story:
In life,you get what you give.
Don't try to cheat others.❌

🔶The Dean schooled them🔶
💠One night four colledge kids stayed out late, partying & having a good time. They paid no mind to the test they had
scheduled for the next day & didnt study. In the morning they hatched a plan to get out of taking their test. They covered themselves with grease & dirt and went to the Dean's office. Once there, they said they had been to a wedding the previous night and on the way back they got a flat tire and had to push the car back to the campus.
The Dean listened to their tale of woe & thought.
He offered them a retest three days later. They thanked him and accepted his offer hat time.
When the test day arrived,they went to the Dean. He put them all in separate rooms for the test.
They were fine with this since they had all studied hard. Then they saw the test.
