So… Gay dudes hooking up?
Two men holding hands.

Maybe but more likely something that seriously criticized Putin or his policies
Three men holding hands?
They can’t say it or they’ll get fined, too!
So signal and YouTube gets banned, but telegram is allowed to operate?
Sus
They tried to block Telegram before and Telegram staged a counter offensive with proxies that kept them online in Russia and made the Kremlin look like fools as they broke the Internet in some places trying to block Telegram.
AFAIK Telegram has much higher market share in Russia. Keep in mind it’s easier for an authoritarian to “flex” and block smaller fish.
Yeah, the chances that its backdoored are pretty high
So Russia fines Telegram and they make national news. When I do it I get laughed out of small claims court.
Totes fair.
