Why did the Russians ban Telegram
Was it banned in Russia? In 2018 a Russian court ruled that Telegram should be banned because the service refused to hand over user data. The Russian authorities claim this was to combat terrorism.
Telegram has gained notoriety as the terrorists’ messaging app of choice. It was reportedly used by ISIS, who
recommended it to its supporters and members because of its security features.
Telegram responded by blocking public channels operated by ISIS to spread propaganda. But it refused to censor private messages based on “local restrictions on freedom of speech”.
