Now you can easily do that yourself in two clicks. Hit the Menu icon and select βCreate Poll.β Write your question and add up to 10 options. Running polls is a powerful strategy for getting feedback from your audience. If youβre considering the possibility of modifying your channel in any way, be sure to ask your subscribersβ opinions first. The initiatives announced by Perekopsky include monitoring the content in groups. According to the executive, posts identified as lacking context or as containing false information will be flagged as a potential source of disinformation. The content is then forwarded to Telegram's fact-checking channels for analysis and subsequent publication of verified information. During a meeting with the president of the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) on June 6, Telegram's Vice President Ilya Perekopsky announced the initiatives. According to the executive, Brazil is the first country in the world where Telegram is introducing the features, which could be expanded to other countries facing threats to democracy through the dissemination of false content.
