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.
I guess its possible that blackhats set up a con to convince TTV et al that Telegram is compromised, in order to push folks off of telegram, but I don't see how GP and TTV themselves could consciously be DS assets.
On the other hand, concerns as voiced by GP and TTV re: telegram being a tracking instrument need to be contextualized, and that is what I think was so lacking.
Example: we have info that XXXX is tracking our people via Telegram, so if you have any concerns about this, better to get off telegram.
Needs to be contextualized. Possibly focused primarily on the TTV people and those who worked on the PIT specifically. In other words, approximately 0.002% of the telegram community.
If CCP or C_A are tracking patriots using telegram, prudence requires clarification on how they are doing this, targeting who, and how this differs from tracking by other means.
