📵🔚 THE END OF WHATSAPP IN RUSSIA❗🚫
😭🥺📲 WHAT'S COMING NEXT❓
⚡ Can you imagine waking up to find that WhatsApp has been completely blocked in your country❓ 📵Well, that is exactly what has just happened in Russia.
The Kremlin confirmed the total blocking of the Meta messenger (which also owns Facebook and Instagram).
🙋♂️ The official reason?
The non-compliance with local laws on data storage. But what comes after this is what is really capturing the world's attention.
🇷🇺 The emergence of "MAX"
Instead of "Zap", the Russian government is now promoting MAX, a national application developed by the tech giant VK.
The Promise ⥱ An "accessible" alternative integrated with state services.
The Controversy ⥱ Critics and Meta itself accuse the app of being a state surveillance tool, lacking the famous end-to-end encryption that protects our conversations.
🔥 WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
It's not just about an app going offline. It's about controlling the narrative and privacy in the digital age.
With over 100 million affected users, Russia takes another step towards a "sovereign internet", isolating its population from Western platforms.
Telegram ▸
$TON ▸, which has also experienced recent instabilities in the country, remains a digital battleground, but the pressure for everyone to migrate to the government system has never been greater.
💬 AND YOU, WHAT DO YOU THINK❓
@Fumão Crypto ( Leandro Fumão) 📣 Does national security justify the end of individual privacy? Could you live in a world where the government suggests (or imposes) which messaging app you should use?
