Telegram founder says over 70 million new users joined during Facebook outage

Pavel Durov, the founder of the messaging app Telegram, said on Tuesday that during the Facebook (FB.O) outage on Monday, the messaging app Telegram gained more than 70 million new users because people around the world have Critical message services cannot be used within an hour.

Facebook attributed its failure to incorrect configuration changes, which prevented its 3.5 billion users from accessing services such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. Durov wrote in his Telegram channel: “Telegram’s daily growth rate exceeded normal levels by an order of magnitude, and we received more than 70 million refugees from other platforms in one day.”

Durov said that because millions of people are eager to register at the same time, some users in the Americas may experience slower speeds, but the service works as usual for most people. Margrethe Vestager, the head of EU antitrust, said that the power outage shows that it is only dependent on the influence of a few large companies and emphasized the need for more competitors.

Russia stated that this incident shows that Moscow is right to develop its own sovereign Internet platform and social network. Market participants said that the nearly six-hour outage of WhatsApp on Monday affected asset transactions from cryptocurrencies to Rosneft, although the rapid shift to alternative platforms such as Telegram limited severe outages.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
