‍Piracy in Your Pocket: How Telegram Became the Wild West of Stolen Content

Telegram used to be the underdog app we loved for its privacy and sleek, no-nonsense design. Fast-forward to today, and it’s got over 900 million monthly users and a whole lot more... including a dark side that’s giving creators and brands everywhere serious headaches.

We’re talking about piracy, big time.

From stolen fitness plans to full-blown premium courses, Telegram has quietly become a pirate’s paradise, and it’s costing influencers, educators, and digital brands serious cash and credibility.

Telegram: The Double Edged Sword of Free Speech

On the surface, Telegram sounds like the dream: no ads, encrypted messaging, channels with millions of members, and the freedom to say (and share) pretty much anything. For a Gen Z audience craving authenticity and privacy, it’s easy to see the appeal.

But here’s the problem: that freedom comes with almost zero oversight.

Anyone can make a channel, post whatever they want, and vanish into anonymity. And when those channels start reposting stolen courses, subscription content, or paywalled material? Good luck getting it removed.

If you’re a creator or business owner trying to build a brand, watching your content get hijacked and blasted to 50K strangers on Telegram without a dime coming your way is infuriating. And it's happening more than you’d think.

Why It's So Hard to Shut These Pirates Down

Instagram and TikTok aren’t perfect, but at least they have community guidelines, verified accounts, and DMCA policies that kinda work. Telegram? Not so much.

Here’s the rundown on why it’s so messy:

No identity checks when creating channels or groups.
End-to-end encryption, which means content is hidden from public view unless you’re inside the group.
Delayed or ignored takedowns, even when you report stuff.
Reposts spread like wildfire across dozens of linked channels.

And once your content is out there, it’s almost impossible to track who took it first or where it’s being sent next. Telegram’s decentralized nature gives pirates a shield, while legit creators are left dealing with the fallout.
