Privacy is not for sale, and human rights should not be compromised out of fear or greed.

Pavel Durov :

The power that local governments have over IT corporations is based on money. At any given moment, a government can crash their stocks by threatening to block revenue streams from its markets and thus force these companies to do strange things (remember how last year Apple moved iCloud servers to China).

At Telegram, we have the luxury of not caring about revenue streams or ad sales. Privacy is not for sale, and human rights should not be compromised out of fear or greed.

Now you can't find user of a Deleted Account from the forwarded message

Before from a forwarded message of Deleted account it was possible to find user id and there was a possibility to find the user by opening the profile if we had a chat with the same user.

Note: The documentation for createNewStickerSet and StickerSet no longer mentions the contains_masks parameter and field respectively. In both instances, contains_masks will continue to work for backward compatibility but developers should use sticker_type instead.
