MODERATORS
Telegram also amplifies narratives by governments which they don't know how to present via TV and such.
It allows for government propaganda and trolling to look grassroots.
At least in Russia the actual bulk of government propaganda (and activity in the opposite direction too) happens in TG, being supposedly not official. Also the biggest Russian-language channels aimed at some other CIS countries are most likely directly controlled by their governments or sometimes biggest opposition groups (of the "oligarchy" kind).
It may be hard to believe, but maybe people who arrested Durov are trying to improve the world.
