📰 Two news items about blockages. 1️⃣ Not first wave of casino blocking, but the biggest. ⛔️@CasinoBot and other casino bots are being blocked, most likely due to their IPO plans, where regulatory issues cannot be tolerated. Not only one bot was blocked, but also other projects with a million-strong audience, as well as those who bought fragment usernames from them. Previously, Telegram blocked organic traffic, namely specific keywords in search. 2️⃣ The first bot was frozen. Talking about @OBDSPQRHWND_BOT. ❄️ It is logical to understand that bots are also a one-on-one chat. And to appeal the blocking, it seems, the owner needs to contact @BotSupport. Under this circumstance, the getMyName method returns a 400 "FROZEN_METHOD_INVALID" error, while the getMe method returns results as usual. I assume, based on the source, that this bot is designed to provide app themes. Sources: 💌💌💌 + 💌💌💌
