Russia launches Telega: how the new messenger collects user data.

According to inkorr.com: A new messenger called Telega is gaining popularity in Russia, which presents itself as a means to bypass call blocks.

This was reported by the Center for Counteracting Disinformation.

However, IT experts note that this application uses the infrastructure of VK and the state messenger MAX, which are controlled by the Russian government. This allows the authorities to censor, control user communication, and collect their personal data.

'This is yet another tool for censorship and control over citizens. Russia is gradually building a digital concentration camp, where even an attempt to protect one's privacy can become a trap,' explained the Center for Counteracting Disinformation.

The Russian authorities are developing the Telega messenger with the aim of limiting access to information and controlling citizens' communications, raising serious concerns about privacy and freedom of speech in the country.

This situation highlights the threat of digital control, which is becoming increasingly relevant for users. The use of messengers like Telega can have serious consequences for privacy and freedom of expression under an authoritarian regime.
