“Russia is restricting access to Telegram, trying to force its citizens to switch to a state-controlled app designed for surveillance and political censorship.
8 years ago, Iran attempted the same strategy – and failed. It banned Telegram under false pretexts, trying to force people to switch to a state-run alternative.
Despite the ban, the majority of Iranians still use Telegram (by circumventing censorship) and prefer it to apps subject to surveillance.
Restricting citizens’ freedom is never the right decision. Telegram stands for freedom of speech and privacy, despite any pressure,” Durov stated.
