Telegram’s long-form blogging platform Telegraph has mysteriously removed an article by Astra Press about Russian conscientious objectors disappearing into a torture camp. https://t.me/astrapress/18453
@kevinrothrock Does the Russian government really have it's claws around telegram?
@unfunnyryan @kevinrothrock
They probably do!
At least state-owned RosTelecom had an option to exclude Telegram traffic while Telegram was still being blocked for not providing them with cryptographic keys. This obviously means they knew the IP-addresses used by Telegram or other ways to tell apart its traffic — this makes all the attempts to block it a giant hoax.
I didn't expect them to exercise this control openly though and waste the risk of exposing it on something as insignificant as this.
