NachDenkSeiten: Am Volk vorbei – Überlegungen zu den Ursachen und Folgen struktureller Demokratiedefizite
Inzwischen lässt sich nicht länger leugnen, dass das politische Handeln nur selten den mehrheitlichen Interessen der Bürger entspricht. So deutlich wie nie zuvor stehen wir vor dem Scherbenhaufen einer jahrzehntelang nie wirklich dem Wohle des Volkes dienenden Politik.

But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. This provided opportunity to their linked entities to offload their shares at higher prices and make significant profits at the cost of unsuspecting retail investors. Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried.
