Well they blocked half of the russian internet while not beeing able to shut it down, i think it plausible they just gave up and made it look like a win. I don’t think military groups, secret service orgs and even Isis would be using it if there was any more danger than a bot scraping your group in an attempt to detect keywords. I much rather believe Durows arrest in france might have something to do with wider chanel blocks and deletes. I might be wrong, but i trust my guts on the credo “judge a person [app] by the enemys they make” and Telegram seems to be very high on the hitlist of any organ trying to break user privacy.
looks more like the company caved in (prolly under immense political and legal threats from the state). Saver option to just ditch anything Russia had its hands in.
For me in this case the preferred approach is the Occam’s razor - fsb found a way to take over.
But following your credo, telegram is absolutely prohibited in the Ukrainian army - either they know or the risk is too high. Which is kind of the same thing.
Used to. ruZZian government was attacking it hard and then suddenly stopped. After they started cooperating. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_of_Telegram_in_Russia
