🇮🇪 The Irish Times has done another "investigation" which consists of listing times Elon Musk interacted with Irish accounts like myself and an account named "doge of the coin", who is not political and they doxxed for no other reason than having had positive interactions with Musk.
The interesting revelation though, is that someone in the Irish embassy in the US has the job of "monitoring and documenting" Musk's interactions with us.
Are the Irish government seriously using taxpayer's money to pay someone a salary to read Elon Musk's X posts?

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. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. He floated the idea of restricting the use of Telegram in Ukraine and Russia, a suggestion that was met with fierce opposition from users. Shortly after, Durov backed off the idea. 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." As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows.
