They don’t like Telegram because it points out the DSA for the political theater and posturing that it is. The DSA really has a lot in common with the “OSB” (the name was stolen from an Australian bill which was pushed by a QAnon religious nut of a Prime Minister) which was Britain’s attempt to show their “dominance” after Brexit.
