Recently, Telegram has started requiring very strict third-party identity verification for upgrading to Premium. This process involves sharing sensitive personal information, which raises serious privacy concerns. For users who value Telegram for its emphasis on privacy, this is a significant drawback. It feels contradictory to the platform's original ethos, and many users, including myself, find this requirement troubling.

Yeah, you're right, man. Pavel probably wants to avoid all that hassle, but honestly, it’s still worrying to see this happening. It’s a shame that things are heading in this direction, especially when privacy was a core part of what made Telegram stand out.

You can forget about privacy after recent news. Pavel is currently living in Paris, France so he is under control

Yeah, sadly, you’re spot on. Guess we gotta kiss privacy and anonymity on Telegram goodbye.

Totally get where you're coming from. I mean, Telegram was the app for people who wanted to keep things private, right? And now, out of nowhere, they’re asking for all this personal info just to go Premium? Kinda feels like a bait-and-switch. They’ve always touted their commitment to confidentiality, and now they’re flipping the script, saying it’s for “security” and “legal reasons.” Sure, buddy, sure. I mean, I get that businesses need to follow laws, but it’s hard to shake the feeling that this whole thing might be a little over the top. We’re talking about private conversations, and now you want my ID? Seems like they’re trying to have it both ways: keep the privacy rep while also playing by some uncomfortable new rules. Definitely makes you think twice before handing over any info.
