Hasn't the founder been a vocal critic of Russia for years, including the Ukraine war? I don't really see why that would be a concern, especially since Telegram is supposedly owned by a US LLC
Russia has an army of "vocal critics" who play an important role in the pantomime, you see them on RT regularly. It doesn't prove anything.
a yes, the ceo that isn't on russia and is viewd as a criminal for being against the war?
If that's the definition of trustworthy Prigozhin was a saint
Prigo was definitely not against the war.
"the russians" is the new "the jews" but for liberals, right?
Russians didn't invade Iraq, Americans did.
Whataboutism detected.
Whataboutism is the logical and correct response to hypocrites.
Actually, it's a logical fallacy.
hah, this is ridiculous.
I will continue to point out hypocrisy. You do your thing.
Indeed, using fallacies is ridiculous.
I'm glad people call you out for it.
It would only be hypocrisy if it was the US that was calling Russians Nazi's. But instead you used some decades old war, instead of the one going on right now.
The Iraq War is still ongoing, it flares up and flares down from time to time.
And the murderous American thugs who raped the Middle East are still around.
Especially if you are Muslim. I remember a data being sent from a French-origin Muslim-targetted international app to the US army!!!
So they're both awful imperialist powers? How novel
Better than being owned by Americans.
Why does it need to be owned by anyone? There are chat protocols that are public knownleage.
Someone needs to use those protocols and pour them in an app.
Those things don't grow on trees.
