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.
Anything I have to download to use fully is automatically suspect to me.
If TikTok can get away with egregious tracking, I can only assume all other social media apps have done the same. Really, that Telegram is spying on people would not come as a surprise to me.
I think using Telegram isn't nearly as hazardous as posting on Telegram. They have little reason to track all users, but there is definitely a reason to track the people making the posts.
For one, you mention Russia information. If the people posting that information can be tracked, then it can lead to their sources. Ukraine and Globalists have good incentive to find those sources and take them out, especially if they are in Ukraine reporting on the ground. Even the people those on the ground have contact with probably should be using burner phones for everything, rather than worry about having Telegram or some other app on them.
You dont need to download anything. Your phone, tv, modem, and the internet itself was manufactered by the Deepstate, and mostly in China.
They track everything by default, this should be common sense.
And have been since the 90's . Set up whenClinton was in office.
