Telegram Owner said their messaging platform saw a jump in new users.
The Telegram which is one of the well known messaging platforms claims to have had a sudden upward movement in their signups when Facebook faced downtime in their messaging service.
Durov didn’t offer any explanation for sudden upward in their new signups,
however, he took a swipe at social networking site Facebook whose founder Mark Zuckerberg has recently confirmed that he is having plans to move the platform to ‘privacy’.
Durov called out other competitors, including WhatsApp, Facebook and other messengers for not doing enough when it comes to protecting users’ privacy.
He mentioned that “In this 5+ year, Telegram messenger has never uncovered even zero bytes of private data to any third-parties including governments.
