Telegram

Telegram is a widely used messaging application that functions as a platform for communication, information sharing, and news dissemination. It's newsworthy due to its role in various geopolitical events and social movements. Recent articles highlight its use in the Russia-Ukraine war, including the exchange of soldier bodies and the dissemination of information. In Iran, Telegram channels serve as a vital, albeit restricted, link to the outside world during internet blackouts imposed during protests. The platform's use by both sides in the conflict, as well as its role in circumventing censorship, underscores its significance as a communication tool in politically sensitive situations. Its accessibility and encryption features make it relevant for sharing information in environments with restricted internet access and government surveillance.
