telegram is now, and has always been, the nazi app. so, this checks out.

I had a thought. The fsb basically had unlimited free access to any ICQ conversation, but they let it die instead or pushing it as the national chat app. Why? Seems a wasted opportunity to have everyone on telegram where everything is supposedly encrypted if there could have been an alternative where everything was in clear text.

One possibility is that Russia can read the encryption. They push, or allow, people to use Telegram because it gives false confidence that messages cannot be read which encourages people to share information they otherwise wouldn’t.

That exact strategy has been employed by the Security and Intelligence services of other nations. Here’s an example from 2021 of the FBI pushing Anom.

I doubt that is what is going on here since it’s their military using this. That Anom story is terrifying. Entrapment techniques like that make me sick. For. Every “criminal” they caught think of how many innocent people were violated by this.

What was the entrapment? The FBI sold phones to suspected criminals and monitored the conversations, didn’t they?

Who cares?

This is propaganda. Intended to justify shutting it down.

Why not talk about what’s actually important. Like genocide victims using it to tell their stories. Citizenry using it to organize when their oppressive govts shut down everything else.

Excuse me, this is the comments on Lemmy, no one read the article, they barely read the title before rushing here to spout off their captivating, brilliant opinion

Ukraine uses it as an important propaganda chanel too. Do they also want to shut that down? Telegram is shit but all this recent talk seems very fishy to me. Purely motivated by censorship ambitions.
