We sincerely thank everyone who contributed to raising funds for a vehicle for our comrade Bez! Thanks to your support, we managed to purchase a Mitsubishi L200, which is already actively assisting the group in Donbas, navigating through challenging dirt roads. This vehicle saves lives and helps our fighters accomplish critically important missions! 💪

“I express my gratitude to the Solidarity Collectives, ABC Dresden, the Afed group, and everyone who helped fulfill this request for an L200 to carry out combat tasks. Thanks to this vehicle, the long whiskers of one of the Territorial Defense battalions can now independently reach their positions through the winter mud. During the winter season, this is an extremely important asset that allows us to avoid depending on other units’ rotation schedules and efficiently handle our own tasks.”

Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. During the operations, Sebi officials seized various records and documents, including 34 mobile phones, six laptops, four desktops, four tablets, two hard drive disks and one pen drive from the custody of these persons. On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events." On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change.
