telegarm创始人杜罗夫最新声明:数字抵抗运动并没有随着上周的俄罗斯停止而结束,会将反审查资源转移到仍被禁止使用的伊朗和中国等国家


2018年4月,俄罗斯电信监管机构Roskomnadzor在该国领土上封锁了Telegram。我们知道它即将到来,所以到该功能块上线时,我们已经升级了Telegram应用程序,并支持代理服务器,隐藏流量的方法和其他反审查工具。数以千计的俄罗斯工程师加入了我们的行列,他们为Telegram用户设置了自己的代理,形成了一个分散的运动,称为数字抵抗(https://t.me/durov/77)。

禁令的第一周充满挑战(https://t.me/durov/80),我们在俄罗斯的许多用户都遇到了连接问题。为了防止用户访问Telegram,Roskomnadzor将数百万个IP地址列入了黑名单。但是,得益于数字抵抗,2018年5月之后,Telegram在俄罗斯变得可以访问。

因此,Telegram在俄罗斯的用户群并没有减少-实际上,自2018年以来已经翻了一番。在2020年5月,Telegram的每月4亿活跃用户中,至少有3000万来自俄罗斯。这意味着我们在俄罗斯的增长与我们在其他国家的增长保持一致。简而言之,该禁令无效。

上周,截至两个月前任命了新董事的罗斯科姆纳佐(Roskomnadzor)决定反思现实(https://decrypt.co/32837/russia-lifts-ban-on-telegram-after-两年的尝试),宣布电报在俄罗斯不再受阻。在他们的公告(https://rkn.gov.ru/news/rsoc/news73050.htm)中,他们引用了我6月4日的信息(https://t.me/durov_russia/22),在其中我解释了为什么禁令没有生效。没什么意义。

这种变化应该受到欢迎,我希望它将持续下去。但是,如果没有,我们希望很少有用户会注意到任何区别。

在过去的两年中,我们必须定期升级“反屏蔽”技术,以保持领先于审核行为。我为我们所取得的成就感到自豪-它在社交媒体应用程序中是独一无二的。

我们不希望这项技术变得过时和过时。这就是为什么我们决定将我们的反审查资源转移到仍被政府禁止使用Telegram的其他地方的原因,例如伊朗和中国。我们要求俄罗斯用户使用以前的代理服务器的管理员将精力集中在这些国家。他们还应该为新的挑战做好准备:随着世界政治局势变得更加不可预测,更多的政府可能会尝试阻止像Telegram这样的以隐私为中心的应用程序。

数字抵抗运动并没有随着上周的俄罗斯停火而结束。它才刚刚起步,并且正在走向全球。

In April 2018, Russia’s telecom regulator Roskomnadzor blocked Telegram on the country’s territory. We knew it was coming, so by the time the block went live, we had already upgraded the Telegram apps with support for rotating proxy servers, ways to hide traffic and other anti-censorship tools. We were joined by thousands of Russian engineers that set up their own proxies for Telegram users, forming a decentralised movement called Digital Resistance (https://t.me/durov/77).

The first week of the ban was challenging (https://t.me/durov/80), and many of our users in Russia had connection issues. In an attempt to prevent users from accessing Telegram, Roskomnadzor blacklisted millions of IP addresses. However, thanks to Digital Resistance, after May 2018 Telegram became largely accessible in Russia. 

As a result, Telegram’s user base in Russia hasn’t decreased – in fact, it has doubled since 2018. In May 2020, out of 400 million monthly active users of Telegram, at least 30 million were from Russia. It means that our growth in Russia has been in line with our growth in other countries. To put it simply, the ban didn’t work.

Last week, Roskomnadzor, which has a new director as of two months ago, decided to reflect reality (https://decrypt.co/32837/russia-lifts-ban-on-telegram-after-two-years-of-trying) by announcing that Telegram is no longer blocked in Russia. In their announcement (https://rkn.gov.ru/news/rsoc/news73050.htm), they referenced my June 4 message (https://t.me/durov_russia/22) where I explained why the ban didn't make much sense. 

This change should be welcomed – and I hope it will last. If it doesn’t, however, we hope few users will notice any difference.

Over the course of the last two years, we had to regularly upgrade our “unblocking” technology to stay ahead of the censors. I am proud of what we achieved – it is unique among social media apps.

We don’t want this technology to get rusty and obsolete. That is why we have decided to direct our anti-censorship resources into other places where Telegram is still banned by governments – places like Iran and China. We ask the admins of the former proxy servers for Russian users to focus their efforts on these countries. They should also stand ready for new challenges: as the political situation in the world becomes more unpredictable, more governments may try to block privacy-focused apps like Telegram.

The Digital Resistance movement doesn’t end with last week’s ceasefire in Russia. It is just getting started – and going global.
