🚨 ALERT: Fragment NFTs can now be BANNED from being used on Telegram!

Telegram has introduced a new policy regarding the use of Fragment NFTs on the messenger. Any username can be banned now, including NFTs.

Fragment now displays a warning message and a BANNED tag for the affected NFTs.

We only know about one username that is affected by this new policy at the moment. The username was banned for impersonating the French government.

The criteria for these decisions remain unclear at this time.

Stay safe!

🏆 **Telegram iOS Contest 2024

Prize fund: $50,000
Deadline: 23:59 on October 25th (Dubai time)
Who can participate: Everyone
Results:** November 2024

Telegram is hosting a contest for iOS developers to build a media player from scratch.

The Task:
Implement a media player with support for HLS streaming (for both audio and video) into Telegram for iOS. The player must support both automatic and manual switching between available video streams, with automatic switching based on network bandwidth

Contest Requirements:– Your media player must replace the AVPlayer currently used in the app.
– The final implementation must not cause any performance issues, app or media playback instabilities.
– Using a web view to render audio or video is prohibited. You may either implement everything in native code or use a hybrid solution, where data management is handled in JavaScript (via a web view or JavaScriptCore) and rendering is performed in native code.
– You may use hls.js as a reference.

For test media samples join @hls_samples.

Evaluation:During the evaluation stage, we will review your code and test the submission under various conditions with multiple media on a range of iOS devices (iOS 12 – iOS 18).

Winners may be offered a chance to explore further cooperation opportunities with Telegram.

Submissions:
Contestants will be able to submit their entries to @ContestBot at a later date. We will further clarify the submission instructions closer to the deadline.

P.S. We will provide limited guidance for this contest, to request clarification send your questions with #ios2024 in @contests.

Дуров ебанулся

Примечательно, что фактчекинг будут проводить не сотрудники Telegram, а специальные агентства, получившие соответствующие полномочия от правительства той или иной страны. Учитывая, что в современной ситуации официальный взгляд на одни и те же факты может быть диаметрально противоположным, будет любопытно взглянуть, как Павел Дуров планирует решать конфликты между фактчекинговыми агентствами стран, находящихся в состоянии информационной войны. Не исключаю, что на таких сообщениях будут красоваться две противоречащие друг другу резолюции, или же варьироваться в зависимости от местоположения пользователя»,
