‼️ #Russia has blocked Telegram, one of the most widely used messaging platforms in the country
https://explorer.ooni.org/findings/96225549500
OONI data suggests that many ISPs in Russia began blocking access to Telegram on 20 March 2026.
This follows blocks of other major services, including WhatsApp, Signal, Instagram, and numerous independent news outlets.
❗️Yesterday, #Gabon started blocking access to social media platforms
We just published a report documenting the blocking of WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in Gabon based on OONI data: https://explorer.ooni.org/findings/340845567300
OONI data suggests that the blocks are implemented by means of DNS interference, as DNS queries return NXDOMAIN errors.
We thank community members in Gabon for contributing measurements 🙏
