why telegram is not blocked? makes you think...
I mean it was blocked before Signal was blocked. Russia somewhat famously badly broke their Internet trying to shutdown telegram... and eventually gave up.
I'm guessing Signal finally has enough market share to get the Russian government's attention but not enough market share that they think the web of proxies that kept Telegram online will keep Signal online.
or maybe they came to an agreement on mutually beneficial terms
Maybe, maybe not, maybe I'm a duck in a suite.
