Telegram will add paid services

Pavel Durov, the creator of the Telegram messenger, announced the appearance of a special application programming interface (API) in the service, which will provide an opportunity for user fees for bot developers. This Durov said at the conference TechCrunch Disrupt 2015 in San Francisco, writes Slon. Pavel Durov also noted during his speech that messenger users send about 12 billion messages every day. In February 2015, this figure reached a billion.

As for the platform for developers of bots, many brands began to use it in order to promote their products or services through Telegram. It is interesting that there is in the messenger and censorship. For example, service representatives block bots with erotic content in those regions where erotica or pornography is prohibited. However, bots that criticize the government or "work" for the opposition in any country will not block.
