Telegram has deleted a number of Ukrainian OSINT channels without explanation
Telegram has deleted a number of Ukrainian OSINT channels without warning or explanation. These channels specialized in detecting enemy saboteurs and educating citizens on digital security and open-source intelligence analysis. This was reported by the "NotaYenota" project.
In particular, these are the Telegram channels OSINT-bdzholy, OSINT Flow, KRIG war OSINT Analytics, Cat Eyes OSINT. It is also currently impossible to view the content of the OSINT Vatra channel.
In addition, along with Ukrainian channels, Telegram also deleted some Russian resources that were also working in the OSINT field.
Telegram remains one of the most popular messengers in Ukraine, but its content moderation policy raises questions among public figures and activists – in particular, due to the lack of transparency in decisions regarding the blocking of resources and the absence of a clear appeal system.
- On June 10, a new journalistic investigation questioned the independence of the popular messenger from Russian authorities.
