Poor oligarch who has to feel sad that their nerwork is cut of 150M people. So gentle of them to defend this voices of thos who have to use something else now.
Petrov was de facto banned from Russia for refusing to fold into the government's requests to influence vkontakte? Dude's definitely too rich and has bad takes sometimes, but calling him an oligarch makes no sense
Ok. Not rich and impactfull enough to be an oligarch. But a person wining online when their business is impacted and saying it is an attack on millions of people which isn't.
But telegram does have millions of users in India. Sure the attack part is slightly hyperbolic, but they were all impacted
Then he should instead make them heard. Propose a way to structure, complain, ... support them.
Not using the power doesn't remove it from his grasp. The really rich owner class are oligarchs, even if some of them act benevolently or at least not like the trash they could be.
