Telegram earned a lower risk rating because it largely avoids embedding politically charged or identity-based initiatives into its corporate governance and philanthropic practices. Its scores across most bias categories, such as cancellations, advocacy, and funding, reflect a business-first approach rather than one driven by partisan or activist pressures.
Telegram Messenger, commonly known as Telegram, is an encrypted, cloud-based, cross-platform instant messaging (IM) service. It allows users to exchange messages, share media and files, live location and hold private and group voice or video calls, as well public livestreams. It is available for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and web browsers. Telegram provides end-to-end encryption in voice and video calls, and in optional private chats, which Telegram calls Secret Chats.
