Ah. That's why Russian government was trying to block Telegram for over two years. Good to know.

- rusk 6y agoThey could have just been doing that to lend it legitimacy ... psyops is something they’re very big into these days
- skinkestek 6y agoI've heard that before and the idea is reasonable but I must say if they've actually pulled of that stunt then it is amazing because I've seen nothing to suggest so despite being aware of the possibility for years.
- rusk 6y agoI’d say it’s pretty much their MO these days
- skinkestek 6y agoYou mean directing people were they want by pretending they don't want you to while not taking action against those who do? If so, do you have other notable examples or is it insider information? ;-)
- rusk 6y agoI think it’s pretty well known ... have a look into this guy https://www.google.ie/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/382489/ https://www.google.ie/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/... I know you’re not engaging in good faith but I’m adding this more for the benefit of onlookers
- skinkestek 6y ago> I know you’re not engaging in good faith but I’m adding this more for the benefit of onlookers That was uncalled for. Please adjust your troll-detector and I'll adjust my wittyness dispenser ;-) I am serious even when I'm joking, but I have never heard anyone saying that in full seriousness and also it feels like we should have known something: even the Russian secret service isn't perfect, in fact they've done some really big mistakes the last few years (in addition to their deliberate "mistakes" that they seemingly do to show off.)
- rusk 6y agoYeah right Vladimir. Sure.
- skinkestek 6y agoI actually have a really viking name for some reason and while I have tried to learn Russian my vocabulary is limited to around 20 or so :-)
