Telegram is indeed neither private nor secure (that is if you don’t use secret chats), but the stupidity of people believing the narrative of

Russia-controlled servers

will never cease to fascinate me.

You know which group of people know for certain that this is not true?

Russians.

How can they be so sure?

Because of their government’s constant attempts/threats to block it / slow it down. All in an effort to make people move to an actual messaging app controlled by them (MAX messenger).

Yes, absolutely, Russian government is trying to stop people from using an app they control, this totally makes sense.
And if it doesn’t, you can always come up with some totally reasonable and totally not a conspiracy theory of them just pretending to trying to block it so that you think it is secure. And people might even believe it. Except for Russians, for whom Telegram voice calls are broken (blocked) again, and MAX is advertised as an alternative.

For fuck’s sake…

It’s not just FULL-SCALE, it is also ILLEGAL!

Lol, it’s not even a spicy question like “Why is Zelensky posting photos with soldiers with Nazi symbols if his regime being Nazis is Russin propaganda?”, and you still got those “people” triggered XD

A job well done!

Both absolutely should be allowed/legalized.

Why not do it himself, with that 4 years of experience in kidnapping it shouldn’t be too hard?

Ah right, kidnapping Kadyrov might be more complicated than kidnapping poor unarmed people from the streets…

I mean, the same people praise Azov, so no surprises there

I am too lazy to point the arrow to the correct place, but you get the point

Do you mean that the Ukrainian people are getting

assaulted, kidnapped

On the territories still controlled by Zelensky’s regime - yes, kidnapping and assault (busification) is daily occurence indeed.

murdered

Well, this is the point of busification, to send the people to die, so also yes.

Thankfully, Russia is slowly but steadily liberating people from that.

Tusk has vowed that Poland will catch the perpetrators, “whoever they are.”

He already confirmed those were Ukrainians btw XD

Got reported for being a “state propagandist”. Well, this is not true because… Ah shit sorry, gtg, Vladimir Putin is here with my paycheck!

The author was so nice that he even included a paragraph about “b-b-but it’s surely Russian propaganda!!1!”, so that you wouldn’t have to bother <3

The go-to response for many Zelensky loyalists will be to write the allegations off as Kremlin smears. Indeed Zelensky’s justification for his attempt to bring Nabu under his control back in July were vague and never substantiated allegations of Russian penetration of Nabu.

I’m curious, do people downvote it because even after 4 years of kidnappings with countless recordings of this happenning daily they still consider it “Russian propaganda”, or are we fully in the “yes, it’s happening, but it’s not a big deal and we shouldn’t talk about it”?
