Until now, hacktivists spent money from their own pockets on the app, but they have taken steps to obtain grant funding from foreign organizations.Voice of protest Telegram helped start a revolution in Belarus in the summer of 2020 when thousands of people flooded the streets to protest the results of the presidential election rigged by the country’s dictator Alexander Lukashenko.Nexta covered the protests in Belarus amid nationwide internet blackouts, publishing footage of police violence, real-time locations of pro-regime security forces, and protesters’ pleas for help.For example, after entering a fake password, P-Telegram can automatically log out of the account, delete selected chats and channels, and even send a notification about the arrest of the account owners to their friends or families.A recent audit by Open Technology Fund’s Red Team Lab proved that it is almost impossible for “casual observers without technical knowledge and specialized equipment” to identify the existence of P-Telegram on a device."
