Тридцать первый месяц войны заканчивается ударами ВСУ по Торопцу и Почепу и Тайваньской декларацией Форума свободных народов пост-России. Кремль приказывает в очередной раз нарастить численность своих полчищ. Московская элита громит друг друга в побоище за интернет-магазин. Элита российской политэмиграции гудит по поводу страшного Невзлина, забывая о войне и терроре в своей стране.
Тридцать первый месяц войны заканчивается ударами ВСУ по Торопцу и Почепу и Тайваньской декларацией Форума свободных народов пост-России.

"And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights. On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children.
