This blog is reserved for more serious things, and ordinarily I wouldn’t spend time on questions like the above. But much as I’d like to spend my time writing about exciting topics, som…
Sure its is. Russia has the keys so they can snoop. Its encrypted though so just the kremlin can read it. Enjoy.
Its funny how what is out there can’t be comprehended by those who only see what they want to see. If he wasn’t in putins pocket he would have fell out a window by now. The rest is just a sad song and dance that the weak minded buy into.
It was “blocked” for 2 years, though there was a problem accessing it for only a month or so as Telegram developers implemented ways to avoid the ban. In 2 years the government officials decided that Telegram made enough effort to block extremist materials to remove themselves from the embarrassment. Now they probably think “why didn’t we trick Durov to visit us and just arrest him like France did”.
I am fairly convinced that it was either theater from the beginning, or some agreement was reached before it was “unblocked”. RKN doesn’t care about “embarrassment” or collateral damage if they want to do something.

The comment where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s Arrest Upends Kremlin Military Communications https://tech.slashdot.org/story/24/08/26/2233226/telegram-ceo-pavel-durovs-arrest-upends-kremlin-military-communications I’m sure its nice with your head in the sand but it doesn’t make any of you right.
The idea that any of them are secure is a pipe dream.
Durov has been blacklisted in Russia because he refused to cooperate with Putin’s government on several occasions.
Yet he is still alive. Misdirection nothing more nothing less.
Aha that’s why telegram is banned and blocked in Russia
Wasn’t it unblocked again soon after?

I don’t see any agreement possible just because Russia had literally nothing to offer to Telegram.
Telegram is VERY popular there. What it has to offer are users who would see ads and pay for the subscription.
Its not and it wasn’t banned for very long unofficially.

Racism.
