They won't ban Telegram. I think they'll ban WhatsApp, but not Telegram. There are just so many high-value clients on Telegram. In Russia.

You are on Michael Nacke’s channel... support the channel financially by purchasing nVPN... it will never be removed from the App Store.

Zoom, I think. Google, I believe, will be one of the last, it seems to me. In response to the question: "Who will be banned next?" (In Russia)

If you're watching us from Russia and having trouble accessing YouTube, please watch our videos on Telegram. Subscribe to my Telegram channel, and you'll be able to see the videos there, even if YouTube gets blocked for you. Although, by the way, I don’t think that will happen, considering that after a few months, the Kremlin has started uploading its videos to Kremlin ru on YouTube again.
#YouTube #Censorship #Internet #Russia

I am confident that the time will come when unrestricted access to YouTube will return, so we will not stop our broadcasting on YouTube, especially since a huge number of viewers are outside the Russian Federation and can watch us completely without any restrictions.

I believe that the persecution of Telegram is not over. It is just beginning.
#Internet #Censorship #Telegram

This will lead to changes in Telegram's policy... Most likely, they will reconsider their policy regarding content and moderation... Durov will have to evolve, just like all big tech companies. Telegram will reconsider its policy towards strengthening moderation
#Internet #Censorship #Telegram #Durov

Next, I think negotiations will certainly begin. It is unlikely that the case will go to court, as Durov will deny all the charges.
#Censorship #Internet #France #Russia #Durov #Telegram

I think that the parameters for cooperation regarding the speed of response to messages will be clarified. For example, I know that the German authorities were outraged when they realized that there was no special employee in Telegram to handle their issues." Telegram will speed up the response time to messages from government agencies as part of a possible agreement made after the detention of Pavel Durov

If we need to predict how exactly Telegram will be killed in Russia, I can make that prediction. Because I see how this is happening in Brazil, where Telegram has been constrained. Certain channels are being blocked in Brazil. So, globally, Telegram channels are not banned, but they are cut off from a significant part of the local audience. Because if you are accessing Telegram from a Brazilian IP address and want to subscribe to some Brazilian Telegram channel, Telegram does not allow you to do this for the same reason that when you open certain Telegram channels on an iPhone, it says that they are unavailable due to iOS policy. This balkanization of the internet as a whole and Telegram in particular will happen, and it seems to me that, unfortunately, this is indeed the most likely scenario for the degradation of Telegram

Well, now it's clear. Everything that is presented to Durov will be challenged in court. The prosecutors are fools. But before that, they will make life difficult.
#Internet #Censorship #France #Russia #Durov #Telegram

I believe with a high degree of certainty that Durov will grant access to Telegram. While in custody, Durov will agree to cooperate with the French law enforcement system, and let's be frank, with the French means with the American and all the others
#Internet #Censorship #France #Russia #Durov #Telegram

In the end, they will certainly ban YouTube. In Russia.
#Russia #Internet #Censorship

What is the main point in the story with Durov? That everyone who is used to using Telegram for sensitive conversations/messages should delete those messages right now and stop doing so. Because Durov was shut down to take the keys. And he will hand them over.
#Internet #Censorship #Russia #France #Durov #Telegram

Most likely, Macron did not forgive Durov for his connections with the authorities of Azerbaijan, whom Paris accuses of organizing protests in New Caledonia. The protests were allegedly organized through Telegram. However, it is unlikely that Durov will become the new Assange. He will be interrogated, pressured, and then released

For some reason, everyone has decided that they are going to disable Telegram specifically. But it seems to me that they are not going to disable Telegram, or at least it won't be the first one to be targeted. In Russia.
#Russia #Internet #Censorship #Telegram

It seems that exercises on disabling VPNs have just taken place... I think this is the next step. VPNs will be blocked in Russia.
#Russia #Internet #Censorship

Telegram will not be blocked. In Russia.
#Russia #Internet #Censorship #Telegram

It should be understood that sooner or later, YouTube will close all Russian-speaking channels, regardless of whether their owners are under sanctions or not.
#Russia #Internet #Censorship

But what will happen if suddenly they make an update to some legislative bill or bylaw and say that all VPN technologies and this protocol are illegal in Russia? Again, I find it hard to believe.
#Russia #Internet #Censorship

Once again, there was panic about the internet being shut down, with reports that it's already been cut off somewhere and that all of Russia is being prepared for disconnection. There's no need to worry because Russia's external internet will be cut off anyway. Where else can the regime go?
#Russia #Internet #Censorship

My very cautious prediction is that the fight against VPNs in Europe, not in the next one to two years but over a 10-year span, will also become widespread. The same situation currently unfolding in Russia, where people have massively switched to VPNs, will repeat itself in Europe.
#Internet #Censorship #Europe

Pavlo de Dur continues to spin on the French bottle. Over a million channels and chats were suddenly deleted from Telegram. This is one of the most massive purges in the history of the messenger. I am sure that Pavlo will comply with absolutely all the demands of the French intelligence services, yet he still won’t be able to avoid punishment. All the best. By "Pavlo de Dur," the author refers to Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram.
#Durov #Telegram #France #Russia #Internet #Censorship

Right now, the authorities are trying to understand which VPN a person is using; they need to find the IP address, block it, follow the protocol, and so on, trying to fight against all of this... it's a story of white lists, but not for websites, rather for white traffic. The traffic they know, allowed websites, allowed applications, banks, and everything else that the state approves will not be blocked, while the unauthorized traffic will be. Currently, there is no technical capability to do this. This has been the case for 5 years.
#Censorship #Internet #Russia

I ask myself daily what awaits Telegram in the near future. The situation is heating up. The agenda is becoming overloaded. There is more content, but the quality is declining. In my opinion, Telegram is destined to meet the same fate as LiveJournal by the end of this decade...
#Internet

I still think that Telegram will follow in WhatsApp's footsteps, but that's just speculation. WhatsApp will definitely be blocked, and Telegram most likely will as well. In Russia.
#Russia #Censorship #Internet

It certainly looks like it, that's exactly what's happening. This is part of the same pattern as the mobile internet shutdowns. I'll just remind you that Russia set a record for mobile shutdowns and the filtering of all previous services. I'd say this is precisely about building that very "Cheburnet," and as a resident of Russia, I'd slowly prepare for whitelists. I'm sure that if Putin maintains his health and power for some prolonged period of time—say, a year or two or three—we'll ultimately arrive at whitelists. That's when there's a list of what's allowed and everything else is forbidden. In response to the hosts' question: "Doesn't this look like preparation for a sovereign network - the Cheburnet?" (in Russia)

My prediction, and unfortunately I think it will definitely come true, is that the Kremlin will gradually block other communication methods and channels to push people towards using the Max messenger.
#Russia #Censorship #Internet

I foresee this happening within a couple of years — blogging will start to fade and disappear. Only those will remain who turn their platforms into professional news agencies, information agencies, or expert organizations.
#Internet

Let me repeat my personal prediction. If the current regime in Russia remains in place, Telegram will face no threats in the next 3-5 years. All the war correspondents and propaganda are here; it will be the very last messenger they would want to block. Currently, there are no signs of this happening, and it’s unlikely there will be. WhatsApp, however, will almost certainly be blocked next year.

We've finished reading the Tribute. Please donate via Telegram while it's still possible. I think that option will also be disabled soon.

If Bastion starts getting blocked, a lot on the Internet will begin to go down. I don’t think it’s worth the trouble. That’s why I believe Bastion will keep working for a long time. It won’t be blocked.
#Internet #Censorship #Russia

Well, I don’t think that will happen. I have a theory, which I believe I’ve shared many times before, that Telegram isn’t being blocked largely because the people within the government itself also need a place to communicate. Telegram won’t be blocked in Russia.
#Telegram #Censorship #Internet #Russia

Will Telegram be shut down in Russia for the new universal MAX platform? No, that can't be! Everything will be fine, as usual.
#Russia #Telegram #Censorship #Internet

I don't believe in this Max at all. Doesn't believe that many people will use the new Russian messenger Max, or that it will replace WhatsApp and Telegram.
#Russia #Internet

I think the question of blocking WhatsApp and Telegram is a matter of, if not months, then a very foreseeable future, once they launch their Max and get enough users onto it. Max is a Russian messenger service.
#Russia #Internet #Censorship #Telegram

I predict that in 2025, there will be attempts to ban WhatsApp and Telegram. In Russia.

I think there is a high chance that TikTok will fully return to our country this year. To Russia.
