😎 Telegram was banned in Russia — yet 65M Russians still use it daily via VPNs, with 50M+ sending messages every day. The government has spent years trying to ban VPNs too.

The government hoped for mass adoption of its surveillance messaging apps, but got mass adoption of VPNs instead. Now 50M members of the Digital Resistance in Iran are joined by 50M+ more in Russia. 😙 🤝 Welcome back to the Digital Resistance, my Russian brothers and sisters.

On our end, we’ll keep adapting — making Telegram’s traffic harder to detect and block. ✊
