Previews for Instagram posts

Over the past few months Instagram post previews have been unstable or not working at all.

This is caused because of some weirdness of Instagram, which is owned by Facebook: under undefined circumstances, Instagram does not return the required data (OpenGraph tags). This data is used by third-party services to generate previews.

At the same time, in WhatsApp (also owned by Facebook), this function continued to work, apparently due to the special access mode provided by Facebook.

Got to mention, in 2016 Instagram tried to block Telegram and Snapchat links, but after user complains the developers rolled the change back.

Last year results: t.me/tginfoen/579

To understand whether the number of users using the archive has changed, we are conducting a poll.

EU added Telegram and VKontakte to "piracy tracking list"
⁠⁠⁠
The European Commission has published a list of resources that promote and can benefit from piracy. It includes resources located outside the EU. For the first time, Telegram appears in the report.

This year, a new category has been added to the report - social networks. While the list is limited to Telegram and VK.com. Both companies objected to their listing. Telegram has informed the European Commission that it will promptly remove content that violates laws within 24 hours. VKontakte also detailed its anti-piracy policy.

Telegram private links did not work for more than 20 minutes

There were problems in Telegram, due to which it was impossible to join channels and groups using private links like: "t.me/joinchat/*****".

There is speculation that the team tested temporary invite links.

The problem has been resolved for now.
