Telegram is blocked in Russia for not giving data to the government

T elegram has been in trouble for a long time with the Russian government. Already last year the Putin government accused that the application was the way that terrorists used to communicate. So they asked for access to his messages, something that was not granted. These weeks there is again conflict between both parties. Now it is settled by blocking the application.

Telegram is blocked in Russia for not giving data to the government

The messaging application has refused for the umpteenth time to release its data with the Russian government. Something that has ended up causing it to be blocked in the country.

Telegram does not work in Russia

This is a hit that greatly affects the application, as they are the market leaders in their own country. But now they are blocked by the country's administration. After further threats and fines from the government, with the intention that the application share your data, none of these actions has taken effect. So they went to work blocking it.

Something they have accomplished very quickly. So Telegram is already completely blocked in Russia. A market in which it has more than 30 million users. So it is a setback that can cause a lot of damage to the company.

The founder of Telegram has responded to the blockade saying that privacy is not for sale. So he promises a tone that is sure to not sit well with the government. We hope to know more data soon and see if the block lasts a long time or is temporary.
