The first months of 2020 marked strong public attention towards Telegram, partly linked to the COVID-19 crisis: if on the one hand there were dramatic cases of revenge porn and incorrect use for the spread of pirated copies of newspapers (with the request for many "channels" to be blacked out ), the strong growth of the platform has been evident since at least 2018. More and more people, especially in Italy, have opened an account on Telegram, despite already using applications dedicated exclusively to messaging, i.e. Whatsapp or Messenger. This trend is also confirmed by the increase in the search term “Telegram” in Italy on Google: In March 2020, downloads of the application in Italy reached the figure of 1.5 million , in a general context that made Telegram reach the very interesting figure of 400 million users globally.
According to updated statistics, 13 million Italians in total Panama mobile number list have downloaded Telegram and, even more importantly, usage is around 8 hours per month . This highly successful application was born in Russia in 2013 but its creators, the Durov brothers (here is the Twitter account of Pavel Durov, also founder of VKontakte ) immediately had problems with the Russian local authorities, who in 2018 banned the platform. Why? The reason essentially lies in the high level of security of user privacy , which led to a head-on clash with the authorities. Telegram: strengths Given these facts and data, we need to understand what Telegram's strengths are, what it offers as a service, and how it can be exploited for broader strategies to the advantage of brands and institutions . Opening an account on Telegram is easy, all you need is a smartphone on which to download the application. However, what distinguishes Telegram from Whatsapp and Messenger (both directly controlled by Facebook) can be summarized in two main themes: care for user privacy and the possibility of creating "channels" , not to be confused with "groups".
The services offered free of charge by Telegram and usable by anyone (but always respecting three simple rules ) are essentially these: Private chat (even in "secret" mode), with special features, including scheduling of message sending, sending time-limited messages, playing voice messages at double speed. The "secret" chat has a system considered very reliable for encoding messages, which are excluded from the Telegram cloud and use end-to-end encryption: no one can intercept or decode them, they can have a limited duration, they can "self-destruct" . And, among the many precautions, it is difficult to take screenshots (but not completely impossible): in short, an extremely advanced level of protection of our conversations. Groups (public and private) , with important characteristics: Telegram groups can contain up to 200,000 members . That's not a typo, that's exactly how it is. Bots , i.e. small programs, not developed by Telegram but by users, which can for example be tracked and added to groups, private conversations, etc., with different functions.
