I already wrote about the impotent attempts of the RosComNadzor to block telegram messenger. Now they block more than 20 million IP addresses. Telegram still works stably, but many other services in Russia have been disconnected due to these insane actions. There was a lot of services from PlayStation to cash desks in stores. And one of the victims was a STEEM.

I have to use VPN to make this post.

Ouch! Was busy.org also blocked? Otherwise this could be the escape.

It's a blockchain blocked, not site. We must face it - STEEM blockchain itself is not resistant to censure. Not just some sites using it. 21 witness is to easy to block. We need more decentralized block production.

Euhm, any idea why they are doing this?
Is it to promote Gala? The Russian version of Steem?

They do it acidentally. Collateral damage.
Telegram uses push-notification from Amazon, Google and MS servers. So RKN just baned all. Millions of adresses. Like pursuing a cocoroach on your kitchen with a shotgun. All kitchen is fucked, but cocoroach lives.

мафия. это будут использовать для обоснования блокировки всех оппозиционных сайтов. а может быть даже и целой части интернета. шоб как в китае. они ведь за нас, наша братва.

Радует только одно - не справятся. Но нам нужно развивать безопасные интернет технологии чтобы не оказываться заложниками государственного террора.

Why blocking all these public IP, was it because of the diplomatic face off that Russia has with the united state. Or just a national issue, glad that VPN still works perfectly in Russia @master-set

It's national. Gov's want to control everything, but have no brains to do it (

In Russia things really strange
A very special article you've done well is a really rewarding person

Really russia things really strange

It's really bad news sir. It shouldn't be blocked steemit. It's a real platform where people can earn through their talent. Should have taken a step about it.
