They tried to block Telegram before and Telegram staged a counter offensive with proxies that kept them online in Russia and made the Kremlin look like fools as they broke the Internet in some places trying to block Telegram.
AFAIK Telegram has much higher market share in Russia. Keep in mind it's easier for an authoritarian to "flex" and block smaller fish.
But but but… the wankies told me Signal Superior was the one and only messaging app capable of circumventing censorship and Telegram is a Russian psyop app with no means of circumventing censorship, which is why most prominent anti-ruzzian channels are on it.
Several Ukrainian tg channels dedicated to the war suddenly had an issue two days ago where every post was coming up as "you must be older than 18 to view this post" for android users. I wonder if they fucked something up trying to wiggle around this.
without saying what information Telegram failed to delete
Well geez, let me guess what information they would like to see deleted from telegram... Would it be information about how Russia is getting it's ass handed in Ukraine? Would it be information about how Ukraine has successfully invaded Russia?would it be..
