Depression is no joke. Even people with the strongest Will Power suffer severely.

Telegram is not an Indian app but is more secure than WhatsApp

Telegram is a Non-Profit Russian app


In the past few months, a lot of people in India have started using a messenger named 'Telegram'. Telegram is becoming popular among the masses. If you have this app you'll notice that almost every day you get a message saying- "Xyz joined Telegram!". Many people think it's an Indian app and I think that's why Indians have started using it. But it's just a rumor. 


Telegram was launched by two brothers- Pavel Durov and Nikolai in 2013. The brothers are the founders of Russia's biggest social media app- 'VK'. In the first year itself Telegram had 100,000 daily users and by 2014 had 35 million monthly users. In 2018 it had 200 million active users. Telegram is a non-profit app. The app is funded by Pavel and some other rich patrons and does not earn money. This is because the aim of the app is to provide high-end security service in a world where it is scarce.


The messages on Telegram is stored in a cloud system and are end-to-end encrypted, which means even Law Enforcement cannot access your data. It has a feature called 'Secret chats' which provides even more security. The data in secret chats can only be extracted through the phone which initiated the chat and the one which received it. Although there are safer apps like sicher, you'll have to pay for it whereas Telegram is free. 


Telegram is certainly more secure than WhatApp which is more widely used. But WhatsApp is owned by Facebook which is facing criticism for selling user data. Telegram is also known to be more secure than Insta Direct but can be doubted. The two however should not be compared as both apps belong to different categories. Like all other apps, Telegram is also vulnerable to hackers, as there are loopholes in almost all apps. But if you want your data to be more secure, Telegram is a preferred option. 


However, even Telegram is facing criticism recently for not being as secure as it says. Russia, where the app was founded has banned Telegram. The reason is another story. Still, it is known to be more secure than WhatsApp and is definitely not an Indian app. Also, it has more customizations than Whatsapp so you can personalize it according to your will.
Now I leave it up to you to decide which one to use- The new blue or the giant green.

Tell me which one you think is better and why.

Hope you enjoyed :)
Curio.

Are you chilling with Netflix? It could've Died in 2000.

Netflix could've Died Netflix!! We all know about this company and we love it so much. Is it not keeping us alive in this lockdown? Today, I don't really think there are people unaware of this 'Online Streaming Giant'. But back in 1998, when Netflix had just started, things weren't as they are today. People used to buy DVDs and watch them on DVD players on weekends. At that time a company named 'Blockbuster'  dominated this industry. At that time Blockbuster had 9,904 stores and had employed 84,300 people whereas Netflix was just a baby. Netflix used to mail DVDs which people could order online. You can say it like a DVD selling version of Amazon. But still, they were online, unlike Blockbuster which had physical stores. It was difficult for a small company like Netflix to fight with such a big company and the other competitors. In the year 2000, Reed Hastings the founder of Netflix decided to offer a deal to Blockbuster. Everyone at that time expected Blo...
