Might delay the daily numbers a bit for me, but an understandable decision

Why wouldn’t they, it’s the obvious choice. Should have been using it the whole time.

Ukraine’s army has already been using Signal for communication since 2022, and they were banned from using Telegram. Now this ban has simply been extended to officials. The signal is quite popular in Ukraine because of all this.

I presume this will have zero effect, especially since it includes this huge exemption.

Those who use Telegram “part of their job duties” will not be affected by the move.

I read that as ‘Intel agents scanning Telegram for Russian info’ were exempt.
