Ukraine's National Coordination Center for Cyber Security on September 20 banned the usage of the Telegram messenger app for state officials, military personnel, and employees of key infrastructure, citing security issues.
Network effects… Once community picks the app, it ain’t changing.
It pretty amazing that two years into the war this is still an issue in Ukraine especially at government/military level.
I get plebs giving fuck all due to poor understanding, the state taking this long doesn’t make sense. These issues were brought from the start of the invasion.
Do Viber next lol
Why do people use Viber over like Signal and Threema or worst-case scenario Whatsapp?

I think you’re sidestepping the question though. The question is why the community removedd the app.
Because Russian corpos shoved into their faces and the state was too stupid to see the issue with it despite being at war with Russia since 2014.
People who criticized this were mercelessly mocked by the normies…
Aka the same thing happening in the US, at least consequences aint bad here… For now
Maybe choosing your poison? Viber belongs to the Japanese company Rakuten, so it may be more interesting geopolitically, depending on your country.
Viber is Israeli based with connection to Russian security services.
