No. The article is just wrong. Telegram isn't a weapon. Sharing pictures and videos is ... it's nothing like a gun or missile ... It potentially educates people, certainly doesn't hurt a soul.

PR battles exist, but it's metaphor. That's the point. Don't confuse killing with talking, please. Jesus.

And if it weren't Telegram, it would be Signal. Or Mastodon. Or whatever.
