‘Telegram’ is a free internet based instant messaging app that distinguishes itself with its two features: “bots”, which are automated AI accounts that are programmed to respond to messages and mentions, and “channels”, which can be used to publically broadcast messages to their subscribers. The app made headline news Iranian officials demanded the developers for ‘spy and censorship’ tools. Telegram has a major user base in Iran due to the censorship of popular apps such as Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp, for which it became a major campaigning tool in the national election that occurred early this year. Telegram is a prime example that communication apps can be used for social changes and activism. Telegram also supports QR codes for easy contact and channel joining, particularly useful for businesses and organizations to expand their reach.
