Highly possible, but NATO does not seem to lie. Remember the incident when telegram started developing their blockchain and was kicked out of US by SEC? They had huge debt since then, but things settled down somehow. However, later on I've read some bad news in the press, related to persecution of political activists and the role of telegram in that. I don't remember the details, but I remember those warning signs. And the cherry on the cake was disruption of telegram service during elections 2019 in Russia. Given that you need a phone number to register in telegram, guess who paid the debt and who now owns the userbase. So I dissuade everyone I know from using it.
