A horrific situation to be in.
Unfortunately, many are going to have to learn the hard way that only those systems that have no ruler can be safe from bad rulers.

Hopefully the recent discoveries about the routing capabilities of nostr enable you and others to access the web freely in near future. Hopefully Telegram resists long enough that the word about the essential need for Nostr, Reticulum, Meshtastic and other protocol solutions reaches enough ears.
