That is absolutely not true. Telegram the company itself (not a user or users) mass-sent the propaganda message to all users of the platform in the country. That is a chilling overstep by a company that is supposed to be a neutral carrier.

It was true during the elections. At no point during the elections did Telegram send a message to users favoring one candidate or another.
