In 2018, the government tried to censor Telegram, a messaging app that became a bastion of privacy and free speech. They demanded encryption keys, wanting to spy on millions of users. Pavel Durov, Telegram’s founder, refused to comply. The government responded by blocking over 18 million IP addresses, causing chaos across the internet. But Durov didn’t back down. Instead, he launched the #DigitalResistance—a global movement to fight censorship and defend digital privacy.
