Isn't Telegram in Russia and most likel a KGB honeypot
Your attitude towards Russia is humorous, given that you're far more likely to be silenced in America these days. Except it's worse in America because you won't just be silenced. You will be completely cut off from life financially, communications-wise, commercially.
Ironically, the only people pressuring Durav to do things like ban Telegram channels is Apple and Google.
