Which malicious actions by telegram? Providing their customers with private communication not eavesdropped by the russian government? A government linked with the murder of political oposition personalities? If the Russian government decided to ban Amazon and make law abiding Russian businesses suffer the responsibility lays on the Russian government,not Amazon. I personally think that if Amazon would ban telegram and succumb to the heavy handed Russian policy it'll hurt the law abiding Russian citizen ability to express any dissatisfaction with their government and decisions. This would directly lead to a government that governs for the sake of its own existance and not for the betterment of its citizens. How could it if it doesn't allow the citizens to express their wishes and plights? But that is an internal Russian issue which I believe the Russians should deal with however they like. My interest in Amazon not succumbing is the effect it'll have around the world. I would not like my government to get such ideas because it directly affects my rights.
