It is worth mentioning that Russia's attempts threaten to block access to messaging service Telegram by dragging the giants of American technology, including Amazon and Google's parent company, Alphabet, to a war with the founder of the application Pavel Durov as it switched to the use of proxy servers to bypass the ban, After the company refused to comply with a court order granting the FSB the right to access encrypted messages to its users.

Russia's official communications regulator Roskomnadzor has previously said it has blocked IP addresses owned by Google and Amazon, saying it was used by the Telegram service, which authorities in Moscow banned earlier this week, Of Google and Amazon networks used by Telegram to avoid restrictions, according to the head of the control, Alexander Zarov.

As a result, more than 15 million IP addresses were blocked, making some third-party Internet resources unavailable in Russia. "We have now informed the two companies that a large number of IP addresses of cloud services of these companies have been discontinued on the basis of The court's ban decision ".

The blocking of IP addresses prevented Internet users in Russia from accessing Telegram and other services that transmit content via Google and Amazon servers, while some users circumvented the ban using VPNs, making it appear as though they were accessing the Internet from another country.

Telepharm founder and CEO Pavel Durof called for digital resistance, saying he was ready to give millions of dollars in grants through the encrypted digital currency of individuals and companies that manage proxy and VPN services to support Internet freedom.

Durov said there had been no significant reduction in the number of Telegram users within Russia since the ban came into force because users were using proxy and VPN services to access the application, and he thanked Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft for not being involved in political censorship.

The messaging application allows security for its more than 200 million users around the world to communicate via encrypted messages that can not be read by third parties, including government authorities. In turn, Telegram founder Pavel Doroff has repeatedly stated that his company will not hand over cryptographic keys to authorities Russian because they do not share confidential user data with anyone.

The application is increasingly popular in Russia as an application for mobile devices and desktops, not only among ordinary people, but widely used by government authorities, used by the Kremlin to coordinate the timing of regular group calls with President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, While many government officials use it to communicate with the media.
