The end of freedom on the Russian internet? Kremlin blocks Discord
The Kremlin has imposed another block on a popular instant messaging service. This time it fell on Discord, which is particularly popular among the gaming community.
This is another step towards restricting freedom on the Russian internet, with media and online platforms remaining under tight control of the authorities. The blocking of Discord raises questions about the future of digital freedom in Russia - does this mean the end of free speech? The authorities argue their action on security grounds, but many observers see it as an attempt to silence the free exchange of ideas.
