«من أعظم الانحرافات التي حصلت في العصر الحديث لدى بعض المدارس الانحراف القائل بأنَّنا نرجع إلى خير القرون؛ لنأخذ مواقفهم من القضايا العقديَّة دون القضايا الكبرى المتعلِّقة بالجهاد والسياسة وغيرها... نحن لا نُنازع في كون خير القرون النموذج الصحيح الذي ينبغي الرجوع إليه، وإنَّما نُنازع في أن يقتصر الاقتداء بخير القرون على قضايا الاعتقاد النظري»

In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read." Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements.
