Bye Bye Telegram - Russia

Russia to block Telegram app over encryption.

Russian media regulator had sought to block the app becoz telegram was not ready to hand over the encryption keys.

A Moscow court has approved the plea to block Telegram with immediate effect.

It's a good move. Lots of bad people use telegram for illegal trading and other stuff

No bro Skype and other applications hacked easily. My Skype ID compromised two times. Many people don't know even there Skype is compromised or not. Therefore i moved to telegram. Telegram is my favorite application.

just shows how fragile power can be. one minute you're the undisputed powerhouse, next you're tussling with app developers for control over their own app smh!

I think they can still use telegram. Any russians face trouble with telegram?

 

[awesomewebsites]

It will not be missed. There are alternatives.

How easy is it to compromise skype?

Asking because I use Skype regularly so need to be aware of the precautions...

I still didn't find it what is the best way to protect skype. There are many ways since it is Microsoft defaulter product. Really leave this app or use for their own risk. Use any other app.

it's really good job done by Russia due to so many illegal worker use this plat from for their business.

They did, but people still use it through vpn.
I heard that it's not the most secured messenger.

Are they trying to restrict the usage in any way?

 

[Deleted member 708208]

lol who wasn't using a VPN with their telegram in the first place?
It works like a champ in countries that already blocked it!

 

[Couldee]

People are not so dumb and they started to use VPN to continue using Telegram. But on the whole it's not the best news for those who are looking for privacy. That's why the most popular messengers nowadays are those with a good encryption used.

 

[pibaduck]

Kudos to telegram tho. It only shows that even if a whole country turns their back against them, they still value PRIVACY.

 

[MaryannFloyd]

Although people still use telegram, it does not work very well. People just wanted privacy, and they were restricted in it. It is very sad.
