Daily Post Nigeria Telegram profitable for first time, founder announces Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport News Telegram profitable for first time, founder announces Published on December 23, 2024 By Chris Johnson Telegram, the encrypted messaging app, has recorded its first net profit in 2024, with annual revenues surpassing $1 billion, according to its founder and CEO, Pavel Durov. Durov shared the milestone in a post on his Telegram channel, stating: “As I predicted, 2024 turned out to be a very good year for Telegram. For the first time in its three-year history of monetization, Telegram became profitable.” The app, which claims over 950 million users globally, began monetising in 2021 by introducing paid subscriptions and advertisements. These efforts have fuelled significant growth, with subscribers to its premium service tripling to 12 million this year. Durov highlighted that Telegram’s annual revenue exceeded $1 billion and that the company now holds more than $500 million in cash reserves, excluding cryptocurrency assets. Despite this financial success, Telegram has not published detailed annual accounts to corroborate Durov’s claims. In August, the Dubai-based app’s founder faced legal challenges in France. Durov, who holds French citizenship, was arrested and charged with failing to curb extremist and illegal content on the platform. Released on strict bail conditions, including reporting to authorities twice a week, Durov criticised French officials, calling their approach “misguided.” However, he acknowledged that Telegram’s rapid expansion had made it easier for criminals to misuse the platform. In response, Telegram has intensified its efforts to address problematic content. Durov revealed that the company now employs artificial intelligence to block harmful material in its search features, ensuring such content is no longer accessible. Durov maintained that misuse of the platform remains minimal, asserting that “99.999 percent” of Telegram’s users are not involved in criminal activity. The app has built its reputation on strong privacy protections, which have also drawn criticism from governments over its use by criminal networks.

Given the slowing in the national economy and rising global uncertainty, it’s a positive signal that the state’s generally expansionary trend has been mostly sustained. The Perryman Group’s latest long-term forecast indicates that Texas is likely to continue to generate a substantial portion of the nation’s overall growth. There are certainly obstacles, but favorable patterns include demographics, energy, and emerging industries. Population growth is stalling in many areas, contributing to ongoing workforce shortages, but is increasing in Texas due in part to in-migration from other states and countries (a phenomenon which is diminishing modestly in recent data). Numerous studies indicate that many of the individuals migrating to Texas are in prime working age ranges, with a substantial number of them possessing in-demand skills and training. These new residents are facilitating economic growth and generating opportunities which, in turn, can contribute to additional inflows. The state’s younger population is also a positive factor. Texas oil and gas is crucial to meeting US and global needs. The state’s production helps ensure energy security for the United States and our allies, particularly in times of geopolitical uncertainty. Simultaneously, this industry generates jobs and investment throughout the state. Forecasts from major public- and private-sector entities (including our projections) indicate that oil and gas will be crucial to meeting growing energy demand over a long-term horizon, and will continue to be an important aspect of the state’s economy. Texas is also a leader in many other forms of our diverse energy future, including wind, solar, and hydrogen (among others). Texas is experiencing notable expansion in several industry groups which will enhance the long-term prospects for the state economy. In particular, the emergence of life sciences industries, investment banking and securities, and various aspects of technology (such as microchips, AI, data centers, and crypto mining) are spurring impressive gains in business activity. The state also faces daunting challenges which will materially affect ultimate outcomes. A growing population and economy will require additional water, roadways, electricity (both generation and transmission), and investments in education (among other things). A critical imperative is ensuring that young people are provided with excellent learning opportunities. Texas is better positioned than many areas, but only if students are adequately prepared for the jobs of tomorrow. The Perryman Group’s current long-term forecast indicates Texas should see economic growth at a faster pace than the nation. We’re projecting 1.64% annual employment growth through 2053, representing a gain of 9.1 million jobs. Business fluctuations are inevitable, but the economic outlook is decidedly positive, with numerous diverse sources contributing to ongoing expansion.
Genetic testing will become a mandatory part of premarital screenings for all Emirati citizens planning to marry, beginning January 2025. This initiative is spearheaded by the Emirates Genome Council and represents a major stride toward improving public health and enhancing the quality of life in the nation. While premarital medical tests were already compulsory for both Emiratis and expatriates, genetic testing was previously optional. The new mandate aims to proactively identify hereditary diseases, including over 570 genetic mutations linked to conditions like cardiomyopathy, genetic epilepsy, spinal muscular atrophy, hearing loss, and cystic fibrosis. The initiative aligns with the UAE Centennial Vision 2071, focusing on sustainable development and the adoption of cutting-edge medical technologies. By establishing a national genetic database, the strategy will facilitate early medical intervention, ensuring healthier future generations. “The move will usher in a transformative shift in the healthcare sector, leveraging advanced genomic technologies for proactive and sustainable healthcare,” the Ministry of Health and Prevention stated. It confirmed that all necessary resources, including trained medical staff, specialised expertise, and technical infrastructure, are already in place to implement this ambitious initiative.

THREE KEY FACTS AI is being rapidly integrated into healthcare for tasks like note-taking and drafting patient messages. Concerns arise about AI’s accuracy after studies show it can provide inappropriate or biased medical advice. Doctors are urged to thoroughly check AI outputs to prevent errors and maintain patient safety. At a recent medical check-up, the doctor showed up with artificial intelligence. I got to see AI’s possibilities and problems play out in a very personal way. “Before we start, I want to just ask you a quick question,” Stanford Health Care’s Christopher Sharp says, opening an app on his smartphone. “I’m using a technology that records our conversation and uses artificial intelligence to summarise and make my notes for me.” During the exam, Sharp makes a point of saying my blood pressure and other findings out loud so his AI scribe will hear him. He also uses AI to help write first drafts of answers to patient messages, including suggested treatment advice.
