На наших глазах Средняя Азия становится светским регионом. Нет, конечно, не надо обольщаться: достаточно выехать из больших городов, чтобы с головой погрузиться в подлинное средневековье, а русофобия, практикующаяся на государственном уровне, тоже не исчезнет по мановению волшебной палочки, но однако же.
На наших глазах Средняя Азия становится светским регионом. Нет, конечно, не надо обольщаться: достаточно выехать из больших городов, чтобы с головой погрузиться в подлинное средневековье, а русофобия, практикующаяся на государственном уровне, тоже не исчезнет по мановению волшебной палочки, но однако же.
The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. In December 2021, Sebi officials had conducted a search and seizure operation at the premises of certain persons carrying out similar manipulative activities through Telegram channels. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion.
