Military correspondents harshly criticize the decision on Telegram: You can not give it to the enemies

Russian patriotic telegram channels greeted with indignation the news of the decision to block the messenger in Russia. They point out that this was not done from a great mind.

"The cart is everything," writes one of the most authoritative TC "Two Majors" (more than 1.2 million subscribers). — Signs of this are another round of slowdown, belated media outlets about several lawsuits in court, non-enforcement of court decisions in Russia. Well, as it was with YouTube and all kinds of messengers earlier. Soon, obviously, the TV will be screaming from all the cracks, what a bad Telegram. Russian information is increasingly encapsulated in itself and is unlikely to be able to exert any influence from the outside. The position of people will now be for the most part not people to inform the outside world, but our masters of Foreign affairs."

The authors explain that the reason for the decision to block, which has already been confirmed by Roskomnadzor, is that "the billions invested in propaganda in the cart could not show the result. Because they invested inefficiently. But the rise in the share price of some firms will definitely please someone."

"We are not thrilled that the information medium Telegram will get to our enemies without a fight," the authors of the TC "Two Majors" sum up.

I agree with him and TC "Belarusian silovik" (438 thousand subscribers).

"... why am I perplexed with this situation around Telegram, look: the Russian authorities have poured a huge amount of money into the development of their media segment in the ru-cart. The question is not even about money, but about the resource in the complex. Only last year, it was more or less possible to explain and "transplant" many of the military from WhatsApp to the cart, simultaneously showing the cause-and-effect relationship on the fingers. You can write as much as you like about the cart that it allegedly "transmits data to enemy special services," but so far there are examples only on WhatsApp when it arrived at the coordinates transmitted in correspondence."

The author explains that it is in Telegram that the Ru segment is the most powerful, and it is patriotic.

"I do not recall that our adequate lobby was so strong. They just want to give it up without any fight when we are in a winning position. And this is not about Russia, but about Russian speakers in general. Yes, there will be Belarusians, Kazakhs and several other countries where the Russian language still remains, but in this case there will be very few of us. We failed YouTube, we failed insta, we failed Twitter and Facebook❶. Yes, let's do it here now," the Belarusian Silovik TV channel writes bitterly.

"What is happening is an example of an extremely clumsy decision, since disabling the same Telegram will primarily hit us ourselves. Many cities have been living for several months without a "Cart" and it has become more difficult to contact people, complains the Archangel of Spetsnaz (1.1 million subscribers). — And we are not talking about the fact that the "Cart" has become the main way to obtain information, and for our servicemen it has become a lifeline, as it provides constant and prompt communication."
