- nikolay 5y agoRT News's channel: https://t.me/swentr https://t.me/swentr My point was that I didn't know Telegram had built-in censorship! That's scary!
- Mo3 5y agoThese are Russian propaganda/spy channels. Nice try. I can remember seeing three of them on a new list on Twitter earlier.. did you seriously just stage a conversation with yourself?
- joeman1000 5y agoCan confirm. Do not join these channels. Could the Russian COINTEL operator be any more obvious above?

- foverzar 5y agoAFAIK you can disable content filtering in settings in web or desktop version, though I am not sure if it also lifts regional legal restrictions.
- nikolay 5y agoPavel Durov had a post on Telegram that he has some Ukrainian ties on his mother's side, he does not live in Russia anymore, does not employ any people in Russia, and cares now more than ever about privacy, yet, he blocked content, which means that Telegram is just another WhatsApp and Messenger. I'm not sure if he gets this - even Facebook did it better by only putting a big warning about the content, but not completely blocking it. Also, it would have been nice to cite the exact laws being violated, which, in this case, don't even exist! Taking sides on a platform, which only exists, because it claims to be neutral and censorship-free, is a recipe for disaster. I understand, he's probably trying not to get removed by the app stores.
