Александр Хинштейн просто из штанов выпрыгивает от возложенной на него власти. Новый глава Курской области рассказал о том, как плодотворно потрудился в первые сутки на своем посту: для обращений сотен тысяч беженцев чиновник запустил Telegram-бота, а сам покатался по местным святым местам.
Александр Хинштейн просто из штанов выпрыгивает от возложенной на него власти. Новый глава Курской области рассказал о том, как плодотворно потрудился в первые сутки на своем посту: для обращений сотен тысяч беженцев чиновник запустил Telegram-бота, а сам покатался по местным святым местам.
False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects. Such instructions could actually endanger people — citizens receive air strike warnings via smartphone alerts. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war.
