Telegram has repeatedly refused to grant the user a user encryption message access to Federal Security Service (FSB) Russia.
The FSB reasonably requires such access to guard against security threats, such as terrorist attacks. However, Telegram assesses the granting of such access is tantamount to violating user privacy.
it will cost the lives of 15 million Russians. On the other hand, blocking would not have any impact on improving Russia's security.
Terrorist threats in Russia will remain the same because extremists will continue to use various communication channels encrypted in other messaging services, or via VPN
Topic: RUSSIA BLOCKS TELEGRAM -> BAD FOR ICOS? - page 2. (Read 305 times)
Despite the restrictions in many countries Telegram is doing fine. I don't see any correlation between this ban and future ICO projects.
Experts warned that Russia could move on to bigger social media sites like Facebook (Stated in the article). That sounds worse. Let's hope decisions will change and that the situation will not worsen.
Russia has an incredibly important place in the field of cryptocurrencies and I am sure that they will cope with this small problem
in General, this should affect the ICO.but I think that everything will be fine and telegrams will not be blocked forever never
Roskomnadzor thus only taught even more people to use VPN, ICO is not affected in any way, especially Pavel Durov is already actively developing methods to combat blocking. So that nothing terrible not happened
It has been annouced today if Pavel tried to combat through use bitcoin. ICO is fine, it's not a big problem in my opinion becuse there is a lot of social media platform just like telegram such as slack or discord and many more. As usual, if the people want something, they will get it in one way or another. The Chinese ban didn't stop Chinese crypto entusiasts from particiapting in the market.
The Telegram ban won't stop the Russians.

Agreed. Telegram not the first one banned. Torrents all them prohibited. So what? Did we stop downloading?
Telegram is already blocked by many Isps and countries around the world but that is not the real problem as you can easily access it by using any free vpn service, there are many vpn apps also available for android and ios.

Telegram is the best platform to communicate the dev and team with investors and supporters.
Countries like Russia are really stopping cryptocurrencies.
They are blocking what people want, this is not the democracy we want in our lives, that is why there's no ( or hard to have ) world peace.

I never understand why goverments banning communication channels, social media ? This is blocking freedom.
For freedom people will able to communicate all over the world. Goverments are afrading of their people and banning communication channels.

Telegram wasn't really such a big channel for promoting ICOs. To get people registered in your telegram group ICOs had to promote their group and pay extra money for that. Instead of promoting themselves through telegram they had to pay money to promote Telegram app. And anyway from what I have seen only airdrops were promoting their telegram group and force people to join it. Serious ICOs would let people choose where they want to register and how they want to receive news from them. So by banning telegram Russia didn't resolved much, probably they did this just for their country and the goal was not to affect ICOs
This here is the whole truth! I dare add, the gospel truth
Cryptocurrency has really seen a lot this day in the hands of stranglers trying to smoother it from left, right and centre. But we count it all joy for this shows the potential that industry has. Only good things are attacked. But blocking telegram IPs for ICOs won't debar the Russians from participation.
I think it will be more difficult, but if it is, then it is a great success! TELEGRAM -> BAD FOR ICOS? maybe or not! Depends on all of us!
lol,guys,do u rly want to know what is going on with telegram in Russia(im from Russia) ? Governments are trying to ban telegram right now. They banned 16mln ip of Amazon ,Google and other cloud services, because telegram used them to avoid ban, so Viber, Twitch, Blizzard,russian banks and many other service cracked cause of that. But telegram is still working.
In Russia, the application of telegrams continues to work, but there is no convenience in switching over the link through the browser

There's still a lot of Russians on telegram channels that I'm in, you really can't be stopped them, especially if they are participating in one project and they need to be in that telegram channel, Russians are known to be one of the biggest investors in Ico so no way you can stop them.
Russia’s internet watchdog has blocked an estimated 16m IP addresses in a massive operation against the banned Telegram messaging app that could set a new precedent for Russian online censorship. As we all know, Telegram is also a very popular channel for ICOs.
How could this affect ICOs targeting Russian participants?

This is bad for ICOs investors in Russia, which is preventing investors from accessing ICOs. It also has a strong influence on the Crypto market, causing the market to stop and go down. If investors want to approach ICOs, I think they can fake IP to be able to participate in the telegram. How could this affect ICOs targeting Russian participants?

All participants who want continue use telergram will install VPN and use it. Some days ago Pavel Durov said telegram team work under programm which will skipping block
Durov also said that he will support VPN services, so I think for a long time will fight with Telegram and you can not survive for the Russians. They will definitely find a way out
This lock can be compared with the blocking of advertising in facebook or twitter, it does not affect how ICO, all found another way
