This week, Telegram start censoring RT and Sputnik channel in France. I'm a lot disappointed, as it was the "free speech" platform. Not anymore...

Both still up if you live in a place that respects free speech. Not telegrams fault that they are forced to respect certain local law. Also a bird told me that you need to write blocked channel names backwards if want to see what your gov does not want you to see.

Could you elaborate on what you mean? Do you mean Telegram allows access to the same channel when you write its name backwards?

Lol isn't Asbmil the one with the legendary fall of 2021 tweet saying „US intel is trying to fool you all, Russia will never invade, idiots“? Also, if the „western narrative“ is one of condemning the most blatant international military aggression since WWII for the gain of a handful of oligarch… I guess I am pro-Western then. I really can't see any reason to subscribe to any other narrative here. The two sides are co…

Almost every sane person said there will be no invasion. That does not make them complicit.

Asbmil was posting also legit osint stuff, but it was also posting a lot of blatantly Russian propaganda. It was 100% complicit.

These channels are only blocked if you have "the wrong" phone number (blame the local gov) So other people mirror these blocked channels and to easy find them, they "mirror" the name too. Its basically the Streisand effect in action.
