HR4PR Telegram | DID YOU KNOW?
Date: | HR4PR
A Russian Telegram channel with over 700,000 followers is spreading disinformation about Russia's invasion of Ukraine under the guise of providing "objective information" and fact-checking fake news. Its influence extends beyond the platform, with major Russian publications, government officials, and journalists citing the page's posts. In 2018, Russia banned Telegram although it reversed the prohibition two years later. But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford. Founder Pavel Durov says tech is meant to set you free "He has kind of an old-school cyber-libertarian world view where technology is there to set you free," Maréchal said.
