In his opinion, the moment has now come when it is being decided whether the new world will be better than the one before the coronavirus.

“It depends on us whether the new world, which will soon be born, will be a better place than the one that we leave behind,” Durov wrote.

Durov also believes that isolation is a chance for everyone to create a “better version of themselves,” as well as for technology to prove their worth.

The founder of the messenger also said that although Telegram is not a company that can be considered cooperating with government agencies, it helps governments disseminate information about the coronavirus.

🌎 So, this month Telegram verified and began to promote 17 channels of the Ministries of Health in different countries of the world.

Telegram reached 400 million active users (100 million more than a year ago). Every day at least 1.5 million people register with Telegram.

FYI The [sponsors] tag should be on a plain empty new line, not inside a code block.

Yeah, he's right, but it didn't take the founder of Telegram to tell us that. That's the natural progression of these things -- Cholera in Europe's public water supplies hundreds of years ago caused humanity to realize that water could be contaminated with invisible organisms that could get us sick. The Bubonic Plague caused us to develop effective methods for garbage and waste disposal. The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic caused sweeping changes to society.

And it's not been just with pandemics, either. Every major crisis has affects the world in a way that returning to "normal" isn't an option.

My prediction is that the COVID19 pandemic will bring about HUGE increases in surveillance. I'm not sure about anything else, but of that, I am positive.

The right thought! I support you. More people could think so optimistically and competently, but unfortunately the majority is under the hypnosis of mass media and animal fear comes to the fore.
