Honestly, you could probably leave it at that, because Telegram seems filled with disinformation no matter where you are.
This seriously sucks, though. It's hard enough having people not understand autism, but to have this weaponized disinformation sucks worse.
They could have also left the media out. I'm sure misinformation is spread through all messenger apps.
