❗️Clarification: Sorry folks, we mentioned PAYMENT API, but @MoneyTalkBot is not using the Telegram Payment API. They are using their own payment system.

We apologize for providing incorrect information emoji.wink But to be honest, the orat post talking about the new API and mixing things confused us.

The Tinkoff Bank payment system via @MoneyTalkBot was released on November 30:

European Court rules bosses can monitor employees' private messages on WhatsApp and other messaging services

According to the court, it’s “not unreasonable that an employer would want to verify that employees were completing their professional tasks during working hours”. The judge dismissed the employee’s right to privacy on his messenger and ruled that what he sent could be monitored by his boss.

➡️ What you can’t do:
Use work equipment and accounts to send non-work related messages, like the fired Romanian employee.

➡️ What you can do:
Carry on using your own private accounts. Thankfully law from the European Court of Human Rights isn’t completely enforced over here, it just has to be taken into account.

You can now build accurate ratings and charts for content shared via your inline bot.

Simply send /setinlinefeedback to @BotFather to receive updates on which of the results provided by your bot got chosen by its users.

To give just one example, you could use this data to return the top-10 most popular results when a user first types your bot's username in the input field (i.e., as an answer to an empty request).
