Changpeng Zhao clarifies that he does not use Telegram, warning users of fake accounts, and discusses his past feedback to Telegram founder Pavel Durov regarding spam control.
Changpeng Zhao (CZ), co-founder of Binance, denied using Telegram and confirmed that any accounts claiming to be him are fake. He explained the platform's username-based messaging led to excessive spam and device lag, which he had previously discussed with Telegram's Pavel Durov. Telegram later introduced features aimed at addressing such concerns, including the option for users to paywall their inboxes to reduce spam.
