With some 97.4 million users, WhatsApp is Russia’s most popular messaging service. But according to Meduza’s sources, it will most likely be banned in the near future. This comes after Russian lawmaker Anton Gorelkin, the deputy head of the State Duma’s Information Policy Committee, said Friday that the Meta-owned messenger should “prepare to leave” the country. According to Gorelkin, the messaging app is “very likely” to be added to a list of software from “unfriendly” countries that the government is compiling on President Vladimir Putin’s orders. Although Meduza’s sources were unsure when WhatsApp would be blocked, they stated that the security forces are the ones lobbying for the ban. One source even suggested that the campaign is part of a wider crusade to restrict access to online information that could fuel further social discontent.
Gee, I wonder why?
Unbelievable how anybody can support/defend such an anti-freedom shithole. So many deadweights latching on to a humanity attempting to get out of the muddy medieval swamp.
Right wingers thrive in ignorance and misery, where there are enough stunted minds for them to abuse and manipulate.
The only problem is that signal is banned in Russia.
