Of course they would do that. Nobody would use it if the server was in putin's bedroom.
Unless it's auditted and open source then you should assume its spyware.
I do. I use Matrix and recommend it to all my friends.
"Telegram is spyware" was not the original thesis I replied to, it was about "operated by the enemy".
All software not under my direct control and personnal audit is operated by the enemy until proven otherwise.
windows, voidtool everything, irfanview, wiztree, Lemmy.ml gmail.com reddit.com youtube.com, my bank's website. All operated by the technocapital enemy.
I use nothing from russia but you better believe everything out of them is considered in the enemy camp.
what? did they do something questionable?
No, it is great praise from me that I still use them. But I will purge all proprietary software and all uses of "someone else's" computer from my life.
