Russia blocks access to Nintendo Network... in an attempt to ban Telegram

migles · Apr 17, 2018

whats wrong with telegram?
is it just a bullshit strike against a free message service? or one that allows privacy?

SomeGamer · Apr 17, 2018

Block the entire internet, just to be safe.

is this because of what trump did

Seems misguided for Russia to block a Japanese company in retaliation for something Trump did. Unless you're questioning if targeting Telegram specifically is because of Trump.

MAYBE Russian's gov wants complete access to its server, and they probably has some suspect that some cospyrators maybe use TELEGRAM for to bypassing russian intelligence's surveillance.

That one

Also I'm gonna be pissed if people here get more angry about this than the stuff they've been doing behind the scenes with the U.S. I'd understand it, given it's gaming related, but I'd be upset all the same

https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/17/17246150/telegram-russia-ban here this describes it a little better. It isn´t specifically about Nintendo but should help you understand the situation

Could you post a link to what you are referring to?

On to the topic at hand; well that seemed a tad bit extreme.

Issac · Apr 17, 2018

wait what? why block Telegram?

Hell, even China allows it, right?

RustInPeace · Apr 17, 2018

I think "Hahaha, those darn Russians" is my new goto statement about anything the country does.

Fake. I just tried it on 3ds, works as it should. Maybe some local provider's problem, but not global block.

Not Fake. Perhaps it isn't blocked in your area? Perhaps they fixed some IPs?

Impact varies by internet provider, since they all have blocked different addresses.

I use one of biggest ISP in Saint Petersburg, so if it isn't blocked in my area, it's not so big buisness.
