      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.

          It's not a censorship effort (Telegram was already quite accommodating in that front). It's an anti-privacy one.

          RKN actions are ridiculous, but calling it censorship is not accurate. Telegram is cooperating with governments if they ask to ban certain public channels (that's close to censorship), but they are not willing to give access to private messages.
