The first are tourists. They go for glamorous, yet soulless Insta experience of a glass-shielded high rise and a martini. This is a territory marking contemporary habit enabled by social platforms to keep home-staying crowd envious and excited.
Travelers dive into the raw, smelly, colorful, explosive, and authentically delicious diversity of street food prepared under the open air of a night market. Dishes are unceremoniously served on primitive plates as soon as they leave open flames. Cheap plastic stools are the butt-supporting method of choice. It's a place where locals and foreigners intermingle in a cacophony of sounds and languages, surrounded by shady buildings, dirty alleys, massage parlors, and occasional night entrepreneurs of the oldest profession.

Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted. In December 2021, Sebi officials had conducted a search and seizure operation at the premises of certain persons carrying out similar manipulative activities through Telegram channels. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War."
