Russia Escalates Telegram Restrictions Amid Censorship Efforts
Russian authorities have intensified efforts to block Telegram, with traffic anomalies reaching 95% on April 10—the highest since restrictions began in March. Roskomnadzor, the telecom watchdog, initiated throttling in February, citing non-compliance with content removal requests.
The crackdown follows a reported April 1 deadline for Telegram to adhere to Moscow's moderation demands. Independent reports suggest the platform now faces harsher restrictions than WhatsApp or Signal, with disruptions peaking toward weekends.
