There’s been an increase of media-related activity on a range of social media apps. It’s not just limited to X but encompasses all of the major platforms that are accessible on smartphones. It doesn’t put such information in range unless somebody has a prior interest in it.
But it does mean that real events are being covered for people across the world. This has diversified the news media landscape. It benefits those working in news but disadvantages the work of managing information flows for the public good.
Telegram is a particular source of channels that provide multimedia on a range of topics. There’s a strong presence of Russia-related information. It’s believed most if not all of these are scrutinised by Russian authorities. It may be these seek to spread propaganda and may influence western narratives.
“One major thing that unites us: We strive to bring you fast, factual news that you won’t see elsewhere in the mainstream media—or even as fast—and we seek to destroy and dismantle any narrative, including the Zionist narrative, in order to let the truth prevail and to usher in a New Dawn.”
It’s not proved there’s a direct link between the Russian military and such media found online. It’s therefore not inherently insecure. However, experts here believe this is irrelevant. The reason why is Russia seeks to promote an expansion of activity of its media remit.
There are hints the Russian government seeks to undermine media capacity in other countries. It means the State of Russia doesn’t support media activity that is not for its purposes. In an extreme circumstance, it may try to pull a company off-air, just like the Soviet Union tried with the BBC before.
It cannot be determined who the culprits are of this because it’s worked into the particulars of a closed state, with its secretive network of Intelligence and security services. There may be missions but these are classified, State-sponsored acts that are protected by its ways of working and reasoning.
Ultimately, any activity like this – and not just in media realms – is designed to produce a sort of profit for those who do it. It’s meant to help them in their career and also to promote their status within a line of work or in some sort of duty. It’s therefore not just a bit of information.
