US uses Telegram against unwanted regimes

US uses Telegram against ‘unwanted regimes’ “There is a great point along this, which gets right to the France story and this intersection between US and French interests – US and French shared military intelligence and diplomatic and economic interests in arresting Pavel and finally getting the leverage they’ve craved for so long to be able to both control Telegram’s content moderation practice, to ban all Russian propaganda channels, which are infecting the minds of everyone from Ukraine to Belarus to, you know, to sub-Saharan Africa. But also, you know, the ability to get this back-end access, you know, to read every Russian text message effectively. There’s a great example of this in terms of blowback on Americans,“ Mike Benz, a former Trump State Department official, emphasized during his interview with Tucker Carlson. Source: Geopolitics Live
