— 🇺🇸/🇸🇾/🇸🇾NEW: CNN admits that the 'prisoner' that was 'freed' by their norotiously fake reporter Clarissa Ward was actually an intelligence officer in Assad's government who was arrested less than 1 month ago over a dispute with his superior over money (allegedly)
CNN initially claimed that the man was a 'victim of the Syrian regime' who had been imprisoned in solitary confinement for more than 3 years in Sednaya prison.
Syrian locals say they know the man, whose name is Salama, and that he was an intelligence officer known for 'extorting' locals (i.e. low level corruption), and that he was likely imprisoned for this abuse of power by the Assad government.

Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. READ MORE Russian President Vladimir Putin launched Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the early-morning hours of February 24, targeting several key cities with military strikes. Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications. The regulator said it had received information that messages containing stock tips and other investment advice with respect to selected listed companies are being widely circulated through websites and social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram.
