Telegram as a "sales girl" of imperialism

April 17, 2018 Alexander Golts

For the second day, there is a merciless fight in cyberspace, against which the fantastic worlds of “matrices” and “star wars” fade. Fearless Internet jandards from Roskomnadzor are tired of tirelessly chasing the confusing Telegram messenger, who deftly uses the IP addresses of the largest subnets. The head of Roskomnadzor Alexander Zharov probably feels like a commander in this great battle. It is in this style that he comments on the course of the battle: “There is a struggle of the projectile and armor-we identify the IP address by which the messenger migrates and block them. First, he used approximately 9,000 his own IR addresses, we sent them to block. Then he switched to the Amazon subnet (about 600,000 IR), they were also sent to the block. Now Telegram has switched to IR addresses of another resource (about 540,000), which will also be blocked in the near future. We expect that by the end of the day this will give a result. ” So you see the exhausted general who repeats to his fighters: "The main thing is to knock out their tanks, sons ..."

I suspect that it was precisely such a feverish “entuuzazism” that the Fathers-Fathers-Fathers in search of printed books, confident that it is through them “heresy”. In the same way, the police of the French king tiredly wanted the "encyclopedia." In the same way, the NKVD have many -sighted investigators (who, as the director of the FSB recently explained, were practically not mistaken) interrogated with the addiction of supporters of cybernetics, this corrupt girl of imperialism.

The story, as we see, is not new. Scientific and technological progress almost always expands the space of human freedom. Therefore, he so hate the police who seek to limit this freedom. In an amazing way, progress always wins. Sometimes in the form of a great French revolution. Sometimes in the form of an invention of a personal computer and the Internet - not in the country that so eagerly fought with cybernetics and genetics. It is especially funny that cyber jandarms of Comrade. Zharova wage war on Telegram a month and a half after the chief chief of the country said about the need to create a new economy based on new technologies. Why technological breakthroughs are required. If you take these Putin's projects seriously, then the Russian bosses should pray for the young genius of Pavel Durov, the creator of the social network in the “In contact” and the Telegram messenger. Native, well, come up with something else that we are all ahead of the planet!

But no. Putin, Sechin firmly know that “color revolutions” “google” from the Internet and the State Department “google”. And therefore, Durov first “in contact” was selected, and then they demanded what could not be - the encryption keys of the messenger. And when he refused, they decided to close Telegram. If for this it will be necessary to turn off the half-Russia from the Internet, it doesn’t matter, even better. Citizens will not have a chance to pick up a revolutionary virus. Well, as well as the scientific and technological progress, which, damn it, is needed to create all these hypersonic missiles and atomic engines, cartoons about which the president loves to show so much, so Lavrenty Beria showed a wonderful methodology for creating great discoveries. Sharashka is called. By November 7, the new law of physics - well done, get an additional 100 grams of butter. Well, I didn’t open it - let's go to the punishment cell. And, if he also led the sparks, then it is possible to the wall. Hunting for the messenger is obviously indicative. Yarovaya and the FSB will determine the degree of permitted in Putin Russia. When the holy is put on the map - the safety of the regime - we will not stand at the price. And well, this is your scientific progress. We and the oil woman feeds us well ...
