Менинг фалсафам шундай: мен хақимда одамлар нима деяпти — буни менга мутлақо қизиғи йўқ, бу менинг ишим эмас! Менинг борим, борлиғимчадир ва мен нимани хоҳласам ўшани қиламан. Мен ҳеч нарса кутмайман ва берилган барча неъматларни борича қабул қиламан. Ва бу ҳаётимни жуда енгил қилади. Биз шундай дунёда яшаяпмиз-ки, дафн маросими вафот этган шахсдан аҳамиятлироқ, никоҳ севгидан муҳимроқ, ташқи кўриниш қалбдан устунроқ хисобланадиган замон ва маконда яшаяпмиз. Биз шундай бир маданий қутида яшаяпмизки, у ўз моҳиятидан нафратланади!

The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. 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. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations.
