"Something I haven't seen people talking about is how it's possible to have extremely strong emotions that don't come from any one single event, but from a bunch of events that, on their own, feel trivial. So, you feel like you're in a bad mood for 'no reason' because you can't think of any single inciting incident that feels proportionate to the intensity of the feelings you're experiencing. You're actually feeling the emotional strain of a thousand minor events stacked on top of each other. Your feelings are valid. You aren't feeling upset for 'no reason."

"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. In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback. He said that since his platform does not have the capacity to check all channels, it may restrict some in Russia and Ukraine "for the duration of the conflict," but then reversed course hours later after many users complained that Telegram was an important source of information. Telegram boasts 500 million users, who share information individually and in groups in relative security. But Telegram's use as a one-way broadcast channel β which followers can join but not reply to β means content from inauthentic accounts can easily reach large, captive and eager audiences. For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content.
