Why should they crack down on Telegram? They tolerate it, as long as the high profile channels are broadcasting pro russian points of views. (everyone above a certain viewer size MUST register with the state, that goes for any site)

this is false, it's kind of funny you are using all caps to lie. Something that resembles what you described may happen in November, but doesn't exist yet.



haha this is so ancient not a single person or channel i read even remembers this. Canceled in 2017, i guess the cancellation part has not been as widely reported (probably not as exciting for sky news to report that) https://old.rkn.gov.ru/news/rsoc/news48342.htm


He's saying why would Ukraine tolerate Telegram if it was so Pro-Russian? Since he's saying it directly leads to their conversations/data being handed directly to the Russians


I did not say Telegram is pro russian. Pavel Durov certainly isn't that much - but he still made a deal with them in order to be allowed to continue operating there.
