one who is in constant trouble with the law and is very happy to work with Five Eyes countries to save his own neck. I see enough stories about supposed private telegram channels being infiltrated to keep me off the platform. there’s only two kinds of people doing illegal shit on telegram, idiots and snitches.
Surely there must be a reason Russian dissidents trust it though? It’s owned by an anti Putin Russian oligarch, right?
tbh feels similar to how chinese people in foreign countries continue to use wechat
afaik like half the telegram devteam is russian or smth
