Russian Regulator Roskomnadzor Partially Blocks Telegram by Slowing Video Loading

The Russian regulator Roskomnadzor has partially blocked Telegram by slowing down video loading within the messaging app. This measure, reported by an anonymous source from the telecommunications sector to Moscow 24, is allegedly linked to the platform's lack of cooperation with Russian authorities. Andrei Svintsov, vice-president of the committee on information policy, confirmed that the slowdown resulted from this disagreement. No specific date or additional technical details (such as affected protocols or infrastructure) are mentioned. For now, the impact is limited to degraded performance for video content.
