As #Telegram's Popularity Soars, Is It 'A Spy In Every Ukrainian's Pocket'?
In #Ukraine, though, critics worry it spreads misinformation and facilitates illegal actions. Some accuse Telegram of ties to the Russian state and of contributing to its war effort. Ukraine's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, has registered a bill that aims to regulate the workings of the platform. But it seems unlikely lawmakers will try to shut the popular application down altogether.
UA: Бляха. Я роздумую щодо того, що робити з Телеграмом на новому телефоні 🫤. З одного боку я не хочу ставити через проблеми з безпекою, але з іншого майже всі використовують цю дебільну апку
EN: Bugger. I'm thinking about what should I do with #Telegram on my new phone 🫤. On one hand I don't want to install due the #security issue but on the other hand almost everyone use this stupid app
Ostatnio na Telegramie przychodzi masa spamu w stylu "Odziedziczyłeś fortunę nigeryjskiego księcia". Chyba czas wreszcie zacząć przenosić kontakty na #Matrix :P
Telegram chatbots of Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR), the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and the Digital Transformation Ministry were "temporarily disabled due to a false positive," Reuters quoted a Telegram spokesperson on April 29.
Ера телеграма потрохи підходить до свого логічного завершення.
Самі москалі починають бачити. що ми його пристрелимо, тому вбивають його самостійно.
При чому для себе намагаються зробити хоч якусь вигоду.
#Telegram has blocked a number of official chatbots of #Ukraine, which Ukrainians use send data about the Russian occupiers to the Defense and Intelligence Forces. The Main Directorate of Intelligence confirmed the information.
The intelligence officers said that on April 28, the management of the Telegram platform "unreasonably blocked a number of official bots that opposed #Russia's military aggression against #Ukraine".
I’m not really feeling matrix (running a server seems… complicated) but I’m definitely interested in any and all alternatives to telegram or discord rn, especially if they have sticker support. Lay ‘em on me #telegram#alternatives
I recently saw a conversation between two people I respect that ended poorly. This being a social platform, shortage of mutual understanding is not surprising. Most of the time, I just back away slowly, but this time, the topic is important enough, and I think I can see a framing that can help make conversations about it less antagonistic.
For a protest organizer, the main asset to protect is their ability to reach people. The main threats to that are censorship, ranking algorithms, and network effects. If #TikTok is where they can reach the most people, they're going to use that.
Same thing happened with #Telegram in #Belarus in 2020: it attracted more people to the protests, even though in the end it burned many with its weak security. Would it be better if protests didn't happen at all, due to lack of reach? Not really. 3/
Nachdem #Telegram ziemlich eindeutig Nazisymbolik im letzten "Hey guck mal wie tol wir sind"-Pitch verwendet hat, gehen mir langsam die barrierefreien Messenger aus. Die Partnerin und ich überlegen, es mal mit #Matrix zu versuchen und sind etwas erschlagen davon, wo man anfängt. Selbst hosten ist zumindest momentan keine Option. Wo ist es denn angenehm?
#Telegram is limiting certain Ukrainian channels after receiving a letter from #Apple. The limitation will only affect Ukrainian SIM cards.
"In order to remain accessible to its users, Telegram must consider requests coming from the App Store," explained the founder of the platform Pavel #Durov.
Sprachnachrichten sind die Nemesis der Schwerhörigen. Wenn du es nun wirklich nicht vermeiden kannst oder möchtest, welche zu erhalten, so kannst du dir behelfen, in dem du sie in geschriebenen Text umwandelst. Dafür haben wir eine Anleitung dazu geschrieben!
Hoezo kan Telegram niet geblokkeerd worden door de internetproviders die in Nederland actief zijn?
In de ICT is niets onmogelijk, hoogstens ingewikkelder en duurder. Of zoals een studievriend op de binnenkant van de WC-deur had staan: “Willen is kunnen”.
Is meteen een goede oefening in het kader van digitale oorlogsvoering.
#Followerpower. Die Überarbeitung der Messenger-Matrix ist nun vollständig abgeschlossen. Über einen Tipp/Klick auf Teilen würde ich mich riesig freuen, damit sich die Messenger-Übersicht (weiter) verbreitet. ❤️ 👍
