It doesn’t surprise me at all. Deutsche Bahn got so bad in the recent years that Switzerland started turning some German trains around at Basel (border) to protect its own timetable from DB delays.

Thank you for that useful link. I've bookmarked it as I usually go through the similar steps once in a while and I forget each, what needs to be done exactly.

One of my coworkers, a network specialist, compares IP restrictions to a garden fence. They’re enough to stop casual passersby, but anyone determined will find a way over or around it.

The problem is the countries, which censor Internet and block VPNs, also jam shortwave radio signals.

That's awesome! Would it be possible to include the business owner's comments for each listing to make them searchable?

Great project! What steps did you take to address the legal implications of scraping from different websites?

I wonder how many will switch to Firefox after this action. But it may be a small number because I assume that not many people use adblockers and most of those who use them already had Firefox, but I may be wrong.

I think, one other side effect of this is the increasing restrictions on VPN usage for accessing big websites, pushing users towards logging in or using (mobile) apps instead. Recent examples include X, Reddit, and more recently, YouTube, which has started blocking VPNs.

I'm also concerned that Free and open APIs might become a thing of the past as more "AI-driven" web scrapers/crawlers begin to overwhelm them.

In my opinion, Telegram is more of a social network than a messenger. There are many useful channels and in many countries, it plays an important role in sharing information. If we look at it from this point of view, e2ee does not seem very important.

We should also not forget that, in the time when all social media (Reddit, X, Instagram etc.) close their APIs, Telegram is one of the only networks that still has a free API.

> The encryption app?

That might be the next step. Banning encryption. We live in a strange world right now.

Moving E-mail is the easiest part on this journey. For me the biggest reason, was the risk of being locked out of my E-mail accounts and reaching no (human) support.

What I found the most difficult was the search engine. Although Google search has become worse, it's still far better than Duckduckgo in my opinion. I've found DDG very inaccurate for non-English queries.
