   Indeed, sometimes reading propoganda or even conspiracy theories or anti vax posts does give people an insight in to the latest thinking, which, as with scams are constantly changing and adapting.

   I guess it goes back to 'know your enemy' so that you can develop better countermeasures.

     Telegram seems to have blocked Ria Novosti and some other Russian propaganda outlets' channels in the EU. The grounds are not immediately clear. The outlets are sanctioned since May 2024, but the sanctions target their "broadcast operations" in the EU. Would be interesting to know why Telegram is doing this now. In Sweden I can still access Ria Novosti on the web, as I should. Sure, it is Russian state propaganda, but I do need to read it from time to time.
