>I also don't remember NSA or CIA raidering people's companies and putting them in jail for shares in the social media networks. Because all the companies are already forced to give all the information NSA/CIA needs. Go read Snowden papers.

Nope. In Russia you can post whatever you want as long as you don't cross the law.

>In fact, such data can only be retrieved via a court order. Thanks to Snowden, we know how that works in case of USA companies and CIA. But that's unacceptable for FSS. Because FSS is not CIA. Really? I don't think so.

You, 'normal people' can buy VPN. But I hope that this will not last too long. We have the China example, we know how strong government should treat VPN freaks.

I'm from Russia. Let me be honest. I personally and many my friends do support blocking Telegram.

We are full of this freedom-related bullshit. There is no freedom in the Internet. Currently we share our private information with CIA. We don't like it, but that's OK. Everybody still uses Facebook, Gmail, etc, etc. But when Russian Federal Security Service whats to access user's private data, everybody starts screaming. Shut up already.
