S. Stephen, Stephanos - "the crowned" - offers us perhaps the most stirring condemnation of the Jews we find in Scripture outside the words of Our Lord Himself. Like Our Lord, and like all martyrs, he was made to suffer because he held up a mirror to sinful men confirmed in their viciousness; like the fool of Proverbs, they hated him for the truth he showed them.
Let all our words and all our actions remind us and those around us of our unworthiness before God, that we may be the wise man who loves correction, and be crowned by the Truth to which we witness. S. Stephane, ora pro nobis!

In the past, it was noticed that through bulk SMSes, investors were induced to invest in or purchase the stocks of certain listed companies. The channel appears to be part of the broader information war that has developed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has paid Russian TikTok influencers to push propaganda, according to a Vice News investigation, while ProPublica found that fake Russian fact check videos had been viewed over a million times on Telegram. 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. Telegram was founded in 2013 by two Russian brothers, Nikolai and Pavel Durov. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had carried out a similar exercise in 2017 in a matter related to circulation of messages through WhatsApp.
