Russian authorities have begun restricting access to Telegram, one of the country’s most popular social media apps, as the government continues to push everyday Russians toward its own tightly controlled alternatives to foreign tech platforms.
On Tuesday, the government said it was restricting access to Telegram for the “protection of Russian citizens,” accusing the app of refusing to block content authorities consider “criminal and terrorist.”
Russia’s telecommunications regulator Roskomnadzor said in a statement that it would continue to restrict the operation of the Telegram messenger “until violations of Russian law are eliminated.”
There is a reason every illegal operation runs on Telegram, not Signal. The security is good.
Bruh people sell drugs on Snapchat. That doesn’t mean Snapchat’s “security” (they have none) is “good.”
Very stupid people sure, but they’re there, and the ones doing the same on Telegram are just as dumb. If you want to find the real ones you’ll need to learn about Tails, Dread, and XMR.
About that… None of these are safe. Signal is not safe either.
is anything safe?
Only the federated networks, no one controlling entity nor country, best part is open source, because we the people, get to say what goes, and what doesn’t.
