On the other end, this increase was also attributed to another event. The news of January 2021 successfully illustrates the paradox from which the application suffers. On the one hand, Telegram was at the top of app store downloads, counting 25 million new users only three days after the updated WhatsApp terms of use. If the application was built on values of freedom of expression and the fight against oppression, it also attracted an audience it did not expect. Indeed, the application is known to be used by some of the most radical political movements in the world.
The Telegram application was created in 2013 by Nikolai and Pavel Durov, two opponents of the Russian government. At the time, the application’s purpose was to communicate far from the FSB’s eye, the country’s secret service.
