Well, is it really that influental if the second they’d try to use their power, they’d lose the platform?
I see no reason why telegram couldn’t be replaced in this story.Telegram as a platform is influential, not the developers behind it. The article put it really well by stating that it’s a “force multiplier”.
Sure you could replace telegram with another program, but without the breadth and type of userbase it has, you wouldn’t get the same force multiplication for information propagation.
