Telegram fixed a new type of spam via invitations to voice chat
There were 2 main problems with MTProto phone.InviteToGroupCall method: 1. The server did’t limit the count and frequency of sent requests in any way. These led to sending a large count of service messages to the chat in one second. 2. Restriction by invitation of the same person was not implemented on the server side. Which allowed to invite one person a thousand times.
After reporting these issues tonight, they were resolved. Corresponding errors have appeared 1. [420 FLOOD_WAIT_X]: A wait of 48 seconds is required (caused by "phone.InviteToGroupCall") 2. [400 Bad Request]: [400 USER_ALREADY_INVITED] (caused by "phone.InviteToGroupCall)
Due to the count of invites I sent during the test, workers of Telegram servers went to restart 🤷

In 2018, Telegram’s audience reached 200 million people, with 500,000 new users joining the messenger every day. It was launched for iOS on 14 August 2013 and Android on 20 October 2013. Informative 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. End-to-end encryption is an important feature in messaging, as it's the first step in protecting users from surveillance. Judge Hui described Ng as inciting others to “commit a massacre” with three posts teaching people to make “toxic chlorine gas bombs,” target police stations, police quarters and the city’s metro stations. This offence was “rather serious,” the court said.
