The hardest spam to catch is the kind that isn't sent in mass blasts and involves manually written messages. Detecting AI-generated text isn't difficult, and mass mailings are easy to spot too - but when neither of those signals is present, it becomes a problem. For that scenario there is a report-and-global…

Telegram, like any large platform, is not perfect. Managing and controlling issues such as OSINT bots and emerging exploits at scale is extremely challenging. I believe the platform s…

Did you use Nekogram? And do you think this is a risk users should be aware of when using third-party clients, or is it unacceptable and surprising that Nekogram had a “dark side”?
I generally do not recommend using unofficial clients. I have tested several of them for evaluation…

In a previous response you mentioned that you stepped away from the project to focus more on your private life. Have you lost some of the passion and curiosity you used to have for Telegram? And would you ever consider coming back to posting in the future?
This is a great question that I felt like I didn't address properly on my channel, so I'm going to address it here. As you …

7⃣ You leaked a significant amount of internal TSF data. After doing so, did you receive any direct or indirect threats from the team? Do you still maintain contact with former TSF members, or did they all turn their backs on you?
I didn't leave voluntarily; I was kicked. At first, the team reacted calmly, but after the aggressive leaks, some became…

⚠️ Message from youtya:
First of all, I would like to apologize to any TSF member reading this. I was quite immature back then. While I remain a Telegram critic (though I continue to use it due to a lack of alternatives), I realize now that I should have expressed my opinions regarding Telegram and TSF policy directly to the team an…

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @TLG_interview. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
