Topic: RUSSIA BLOCKS TELEGRAM -> BAD FOR ICOS? - page 3. (Read 305 times)
I'm from Russia and if you think that I've stopped using telegram you are wrong. No one here cares about this block. Russia is not China with "the great firewall". There is no technical way to ensure this blockage.
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
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.

Yes, this is true. There is a lot of ways to access telegram. Some of the examples is, you can access it using VPN connection. Based on this news, Pavel Durov said that the VPN connection is the way to access again the Telegram apps.

I couldn't agree more, and although the ban's effects will probably show at first it will fade soon enough.
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
It could be hard at the first for them but i think they will find new alternatives fast since the ban wasnt enforced because of ICOs but other reasons . Basically out of fear of losing control of information .
I have read that they failed to block it in most cases, plus you can avoid blocking with VPN. And the block only hurts Russian users, so no effect for other countries.

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?
