I'm from Russia. Let me be honest. I personally and many my friends do support blocking Telegram.

We are full of this freedom-related bullshit. There is no freedom in the Internet. Currently we share our private information with CIA. We don't like it, but that's OK. Everybody still uses Facebook, Gmail, etc, etc. But when Russian Federal Security Service whats to access user's private data, everybody starts screaming. Shut up already.

Really? They can put you in for a wrong repost, doesn't sound so swell.

[zpetrov]

Nope. In Russia you can post whatever you want as long as you don't cross the law.

[y_molodtsov]

That's true. Thankfully the Russian laws allow to classify almost anything as extremism or insult against any social group, so that's not a problem.

meduza.io? That's a silly anti-Russian site, which is sponsored by criminal Khodorkovsky. Nice try.

That is true for china, iran and saudi arabia as well...

Well, one things is that FSS(FSB) doesn't have jurisdiction over a foreign company. In fact, such data can only be retrieved via a court order.

I don't know who you are friends with, but you people are strange.

While all normal people are buying proxies and setting up VPN right now.

[zpetrov]

>In fact, such data can only be retrieved via a court order. Thanks to Snowden, we know how that works in case of USA companies and CIA. But that's unacceptable for FSS. Because FSS is not CIA. Really? I don't think so.

You, 'normal people' can buy VPN. But I hope that this will not last too long. We have the China example, we know how strong government should treat VPN freaks.

Strong government isn't afraid of anything, because people in a strong government change. Only the rulers who are greedy for their personal power turn themselves into living monuments and order to clean the Internet from the memes about them.

>Strong government isn't afraid of anything

Does USA have strong government? Why does it force RT, for example? Because strong goverment wants to control its mass media and information in general.

>Only the rulers who are greedy for their personal power turn themselves into living monuments and order to clean the Internet from the memes about them.

There are lots of memes about Putin, for example. Nobody cares. Got visit http://lurkmore.to. Enjoy your silly 'freedom'.

[codedokode]

The website you are mentioning (lurkmore) was blocked in Russia and had to edit its content. See https://reestr.rublacklist.net/search/?q=lurkmore

Please do at least a little research next time.

[nugi]

Can we clear these troll accounts? This is beyond childish.

[vminko]

"I don't like what this guy writes. Please ban him."

Is that the freedom of speech you, American democrats, are talking about?

I also don't remember NSA or CIA raidering people's companies and putting them in jail for shares in the social media networks. So I'd prefer to give my information to them and not to the degenerate heirs of the KGB.

[zpetrov]

>I also don't remember NSA or CIA raidering people's companies and putting them in jail for shares in the social media networks. Because all the companies are already forced to give all the information NSA/CIA needs. Go read Snowden papers.
