2. Telegram banned in Russia for 797 days? I actually never knew that as Russian telegram user for 4 years

3. It’s funny how social medias and communication apps are only restricted/banned in dictatorial countries

   But what the heck happened it was also in Spain for a couple of days??

4. Can anyone explain what’s the issue with Telegram?

5. Why do people use Telegram instead of something like Signal?

6. If you don’t hold the data then you don’t have any problems.

   Signal is far superior in that sense

7. People should be using Signal instead.

8. He means Freedom of hate and desinformation.

9. The head of telegram was arrested in France this week.
