🇨🇫О ЧВК Bancroft и ее возможном заходе в ЦАР (или куда-то ещё) разговоры все ещё не умолкают. Буквально вчера российские источники сообщили об отказе от контракта Банкрофт в ЦАРе, но в реальности все устроено намного сложнее, и этот Bancroft очень не прост.

🇨🇫О ЧВК Bancroft и ее возможном заходе в ЦАР (или куда-то ещё) разговоры все ещё не умолкают. Буквально вчера российские источники сообщили об отказе от контракта Банкрофт в ЦАРе, но в реальности все устроено намного сложнее, и этот Bancroft очень не прост.
В «Завтра» вышла моя свежая статья об этой ЧВК и некоторых интересных ее связях:
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. Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. The fake Zelenskiy account reached 20,000 followers on Telegram before it was shut down, a remedial action that experts say is all too rare. He adds: "Telegram has become my primary news source."
