"وكم من أعرابيٍّ نظر إلى أسارير وجه رسول الله ﷺ، وإلى حُسن كلامه، ولطف شمائله وأخلاقه، فآمن به وصدَّقه تصديقًا جازمًا لم يخالجه ريبٌ، من غير مطالبة بمعجزة يقيمها وذكر وجه دلالتها".
"وكم من أعرابيٍّ نظر إلى أسارير وجه رسول الله ﷺ، وإلى حُسن كلامه، ولطف شمائله وأخلاقه، فآمن به وصدَّقه تصديقًا جازمًا لم يخالجه ريبٌ، من غير مطالبة بمعجزة يقيمها وذكر وجه دلالتها".
The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. "There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices.
