for Many years, we consistently advocate for freedom of expression online and freedom of access to information in the Telegram. In Belarus today is an important day, and we must help the Belarusian users in such a difficult moment. So the width of the stream our proxy was increased more than 15 times.

More than 12 000 people from Belarus have used our proxy server today. Tens and hundreds of thousand other use proxy servers, so encourage their holders to expand to expand the channels, to help with access to information in Belarus.

Vadim was found!

About an hour ago, Vadim published a video message explaining where he was and what happened to him. Here’s a translation of his message:

Hi, everyone! My name is Vadim Chayukov, and I’m the creator of @tginfo. Two nights ago, on the 12th of August, I was detained in Minsk by unknown people in black-clad clothing. While I was being detained, I was beaten for not revealing my phone’s passcode. I was then transported to a district internal affairs office, where I was tortured for an hour by a different set of unknown people in black-clad clothing. After a day of holding, however, I was released, very warmly received by volunteers, who fed me, which was very important to me after a day of hunger, let me contact my friends, and helped transport me back home, where I found about the scale of the publicity campaign that was launched in my support: by my relatives, friends, Telegram colleagues, media colleagues. I can see how many of you there are, and I can see that we’ve already won.

AzaPI considers Telegram one of the largest sources of piracy in Runet

The Internet Copyright Association (ASAPI) is unhappy that Google does not remove apps with "pirate" books in Russian language from the European Google Play, including Telegram and YouTube. ASAPI, which represents the interests of major Russian book publishers, asks the European Commission to hold the corporation accountable.

Applications with pirated content prevent legal services like Storytel, Bookmate or Litres from competing in the European market, although the popularity of e-books is growing, according to the head of ASAPI Maxim Ryabyko.

As Ryabyko explained, the rights holders could not apply to the court, as the service was officially operated by the service, although the service was officially functioning normally, despite all the efforts of Roskomnadzor.

In June 2020, the regulator in coordination with the Prosecutor General's Office,"- unlocked Telegram.

Proxy donations

Since August the 9th, protests, Internet outages, and limitations of access to various services, including Telegram, have been occuring in Belarus.

For over 2 weeks we've been supporting a powerful proxy server, which is used by tens of thousands of Belarusians every day — add proxy.

During this time, we'd spent over $500 on supporting the proxy. Since we are anot a commercial project and publish virtually no advertisements, we ask you to help our proxy and support Belarusians.

We are announcing a proxy fundraiser. To do this, we have created a page where everyone will be able to support us by some amount for proxy maintainance, and thus support the Belarusians and their access to Telegram at this uneasy time.
