Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has clarified that he does not use Telegram, and any accounts claiming to be him on the platform are fake. CZ explained that his decision is not an opposition to Telegram itself, but rather due to a feature that allows anyone to message him if they know his username, leading to overwhelming message spam and even causing his phone to lag. He mentioned having directly communicated this issue to Telegram's founder, Pavel Durov.
