About 70 percent of Ukraine’s population uses Telegram as their main source of news, but the government is worried that the app is being used as a method of disinformation and spying by Russia. They are trying to pivot to apps like Signal instead, but it is difficult to break the habit of such a majority of the country.
What gives those rumors credibility other than “Russia bad”?
If you have links to some sources with some facts - I’d very much like to read them
Here.
Thanks, that was an interesting read :)
Of course it doesn’t prove anything (especially that Telegram sends any information about Ukrainians to Russian government!), but at least those allegations indeed have more credibility than the usual “Russia bad”. It also doesn’t say anything about Durov doing something because he had financial problems. And what it definitely doesn’t say is that “Telegram is operated by Russia”.
Yeah next you are going to ask us to prove that signal shares meta data with nsa, other wise it doesn’t happen
