Pavel Durov: Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram messaging app, is the richest man in Dubai. His net worth is 17 billion dollars. He recently revealed the secret of his success while talking with Lex Friedman in a podcast. Durov is very active on social media platforms.

He is also known for his physique, but to reach the heights of fame, he also had to make a lot of papads, only then Telegram became such a successful social networking startup. Staying disciplined about his work, Durov kept himself away from alcohol, tobacco, coffee, pills or illegal drugs for almost 20 years. In this four-hour podcast, Durov revealed many things.

Why did Durov stay away from alcohol?

Recalling his childhood, Durov said that once one of his teachers gave him a book named ‘The Illusion of Paradise’. In this, there was mention of biological and chemical processes occurring in the body after consumption of things. It was told that when you drink alcohol, your brain cells become paralyzed. Man becomes like a zombie. By the time the party ends the next day, many brain cells die and this same brain supports you in the journey of life and you tamper with it for a moment of fun. After reading this book, Durov had decided to stay away from these things at the age of just 11.

do not use mobile

On the use of mobile phones, Durov said that in today’s time we all have become slaves of cell phones. In our free time we just keep our fingers running on our phones: our world is captured in a dazzling 30-second world. Durov hardly uses the phone. He mostly keeps checking the features of Telegram on his phone. Durov believes that the phone is not a very important thing. Even while studying at university, Durov did not have a phone. Durov believes that phones distract attention, so it is very important to set your agenda.

Durov believes that if you do morning exercises without using your phone, good thoughts will come to your mind. If you start using your phone every time you wake up, you will become a person who is told what to think about throughout the day. That is, despite being the founder of the world’s largest social network, Durov himself avoids using the phone.

Telegram ban: Today, Telegram is considered one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. This app not only provides chatting and calling facilities but also gives freedom to share big files, run channels and create groups. However, while the popularity of Telegram is increasing rapidly on the one hand, on the other hand some countries have completely banned this app. These countries believe that Telegram can become a threat to security and law and order. Let’s know about the 5 countries where running Telegram is considered a crime.

Russia

Although Telegram is an app made in Russia, but some time ago it was banned here. The real reason was that the government was not getting access to the chat and data of the app. The government wanted the information of the users to be with him, so that cases related to terrorism or crime could be investigated. But Telegram refused to give this information. For this reason, Russia banned it for some time. However, later this ban was lifted, but it was considered a crime to use it here at one time.

China

China is known for strict control on its internet and social media. Here the government banns every app that does not work according to its policies. Telegram was banned in China because the government there suspected that it was becoming a means of spreading anti -platform views and campaigning against the policies of the government. For this reason, it is impossible to run a telegram in China even today.

Iran

Iran has also banned Telegram. The government here says that Telegram was being used to organize mass protests and promote anti-government activities. Apart from this, spreading content against religious and cultural norms in Iran is also considered to be a reason for the ban. That is why the use of Telegram here is considered against the law.

Pakistan

Telegram was also banned in Pakistan. The government described the reason for this, cyber security and fake news. There it said that Telegram was being used to spread wrong information and spoil law and order. However, many times people tried to use it through VPN, but this app is officially closed in Pakistan.

India (partial restriction)

Telegram is not completely banned in India, but many times questions have been raised about it. Telegram has been temporarily banned at some states and places during violence or crime. The government believes that this platform is used to spread drugs, piracy and fake news. Although it is still available across the country, strict rules can be applicable on its use in future.

If you were thinking that you are safe in the digital world by turning on two factor authentication and blocking spam calls, then you should think once again. A report has made a big disclosure that a Telegram bot is selling personal data of people for just Rs 99, that too sensitive information like Aadhaar number, address, father’s name, voter ID and PAN.

Digit ki Report According to, this bot (the name has been kept secret due to misfortune) is selling open personal data. Only by entering the mobile number, it removes the entire details. Not only this, this service is also offering monthly unlimited access for Rs 4,999. The publication team itself claimed to test this bot and found that in only a few seconds the entire profile was in front of them, including name, father’s name, current and old addresses, alternative numbers and even information related to Aadhaar.

It is being suspected that this data has been collected from public utility, fintech apps and data from telecom companies for many years. Some results were 3-4 years old, but still were so accurate that after seeing them, work like identity theft, fraud KYC, loan scam can be done easily. In addition, these details can also be used to target sim cloning, creating fake accounts, bank scams or even someone’s family.

It is probably impossible to be completely safe, but you can definitely reduce the risk by taking some steps. We will advise you to lock your base by visiting UIDAI site. Be alert to SIM porting or fake KYC request. If you suspect any kind of activity, then call 1930 or go to cybercrime.gov.in and inform it.
