"Something I haven't seen people talking about is how it's possible to have extremely strong emotions that don't come from any one single event, but from a bunch of events that, on their own, feel trivial. So, you feel like you're in a bad mood for 'no reason' because you can't think of any single inciting incident that feels proportionate to the intensity of the feelings you're experiencing. You're actually feeling the emotional strain of a thousand minor events stacked on top of each other. Your feelings are valid. You aren't feeling upset for 'no reason."

But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durovβs position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. Perpetrators of such fraud use various marketing techniques to attract subscribers on their social media channels. Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback.
