About 70 percent of Ukraine’s population uses Telegram as their main source of news, but the government is worried that the app is being used as a method of disinformation and spying by Russia. They are trying to pivot to apps like Signal instead, but it is difficult to break the habit of such a majority of the country.


Imagine entire country using coms software operated by the enemy.
Are these people idiots or just don’t care for national security?
Do I get it right that you know that
and still somehow make a conclusion that “it is operated by the enemy” (assuming that by enemy you mean Russian government)? I’d like to learn more about this logic :)
Of course they would do that. Nobody would use it if the server was in putin’s bedroom.
Unless it’s auditted and open source then you should assume its spyware.
