"📊Russians were asked what they think about the blocking of Telegram Unexpectedly the reaction looked very much like a revolt: 📍 We dont give a damn about Max 📍 Complete nonsense. 📍 Terrible. Disgusting. 📍 Max is spyware. Were not signing up for that. 📍 I have many friends at the front. Theyre very unhappy about this ban. Telegram is the most popular messenger in Russia. Its used not only by ordinary people but also by Russian occupying forces to monitor drone attacks and exchange operational information. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022587868221145487"
