Telegram is the only place where you can find reslly good info about the Russian war very quckly. You can see various Russian accounts, translate their text, and even sub to the Russian MoD and Russian PMCs directly. Im not saying its propaganda free but theres tons of irrefutable videos and other stuff, very good info.
If theres gonna be a False flag event in Ukraine then the last thing they want is a bunch of smart people on Telegram sharing videos of what actually happened with the false flag.
All this stuff about Telegram being owned by the CCP is true but its not new information so ask why is it coming out now? If people were being posisoned why be absolutely weird about it? Why wouldn't there be a concise easy to understand video outlining whats going on? Because that doesnt make people as afraid as vague crap.
They cant censor telegram like they can censor Twitter and Facebook. There isnt big populations of Russians putting out this info on messaging apps like discord so theres no reason to get people off that. So they push out this fear tactic about Telegram so people will delete it becauae they know the false flag is coming, and they know good info about it will be on Telegram
Remeber fear is the DS best ally, if you are operating out of a fear base and doing things because youre afraid, then youre getting caught up in a psyop and being played.
Adding one point to this post. The entirety of the internet is operated on infrastructure owned and operated by the DS, and 99% of the devices we use to get on the internet were manufactured in the DS most controlled country China, plus the Internet was invented by DAARPA. If you think they need Telegram or any permissions on any app or anything other then your phone being connected to the internet to track you then you just haven't really thought about it hard enough.
Telegram probably selling the database ESN data. Good luck bro.
