Telegram Blocks Russian Opposition Bot as Google, Apple Pull App

As far as I know this is the first time they cooperated with the Russian government this openly, even without any publicly visible pressure on them.

Given this news they can no longer be trusted.

I didn't expect this from telegram. This is a huge disappointment.

Putin was very nervous about Navalny smart system because it was working. He put pressure on everybody, Google apple and telegram.

Their reputation is tainted forever.

"But see, this was the good kind of Russian bot! Wait, it was interfering with an election? I thought it was only pro-Trump bots doing that!"

Yes, a Russian opposition leader whom they tried to murder and then jailed endorsing officially approved Russian candidates in Russia is obviously an election interference
