    Edward Snowden Retweeted Edward Snowden

    Roskomnadzor's mad quest to punish @telegram for protecting user's rights has totally broken Russia's internet today. Enormous numbers of sites completely unrelated to Telegram are blocked in a morally and technically ignorant censorship effort. https://meduza.io/en/short/2018/04/17/here-s-how-many-ip-addresses-russia-has-blocked-to-cut-access-to-telegram …https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/986273158603952128 …

    I have criticized @telegram's security model in the past, but @Durov's response to the Russian government's totalitarian demand for backdoor access to private communications—refusal and resistance—is the only moral response, and shows real leadership. https://themoscowtimes.com/news/telegram-founder-pledges-millions-fight-russian-political-censorship-61197 …

        Journalists working the story of @telegram being blocked in Russia should be absolutely clear that if @Google and @Amazon halt its access to their cloud platform or remove the app from their stores, they are witting collaborators in a censorship campaign, not victims of it.

        Paranoid governments that fear >the most< citizens communicating among one another securely (encryption) won't convince us it's a rational fear. People could do this for ages. They spoke to one another offline for centuries. And we got along OK.

        We can't even have decent electronic voting machines without hackable back doors in the U.S. instead, we have privately owned equipment, using proprietary property programming! Beyond ridiculous. It seems that no one cares. Certainly not those distracted by constant shiny keys.

        Electronic version of bombing a city. Many innocent people get hurt & it does little to the actual parties involved.

        So what's going on with whatsapp and other apps with other governments? Are they giving up user rights?
