Personal Response

As a Telegram user and TON Coin holder, I really appreciate Pavel Durov and the Telegram team's continued balance between security, freedom, and transparency. Pavel's explanation makes it clear that there are no major changes in how Telegram works, but they are always trying to comply with applicable laws without compromising user privacy.

In addition, Telegram's frank and transparent steps through the @transparency bot show that they are serious about maintaining public trust. For those of us who use TON Coin, this step shows that the ecosystem that Telegram is building is an ecosystem that prioritizes integrity and security, which are important things in the cryptocurrency world.

The simplification of privacy policies in various countries is also a positive step that makes us more confident that Telegram cares about its users around the world, without sacrificing the principles of freedom that they have held since the beginning. Telegram continues to be a safe platform, not only for ordinary users, but also for the crypto community that values ​​privacy and freedom.

With all this, I am increasingly confident that Telegram and TON will continue to grow as a solid and trusted ecosystem.
