In the past month, Russian Discord users have experienced service problems at least three times.
Roskomnadzor made five decisions on violation of Russian law related to Discord messenger. Meduza reported it.
Journalists suggest that this will soon lead to a slowdown or complete blocking of the Discord service in the Russian Federation. As a result, several tens of millions of people will lose their means of communication.
They use Discord not only for communication, but also for education, and as a means of corporate communication.
In Russia, according to various estimates, the number of registered Discord users ranges from 29 to 40 million.
In the past month, Russian Discord users have experienced service problems at least three times. In August, a major failure occurred, as a result of which, in addition to the messenger, many other popular sites and programs stopped opening, including Telegram, WhatsApp and Steam.
Roskomnadzor explained it as a DDOS attack on Russian telecom operators. Experts suggested that the Russian authorities first tried to block the Telegram messenger, but their actions affected the work of other sources.
On September 18, Discord stopped working for users from different regions of Russia. The last failure was recorded on September 26.
We remind you that in early August YouTube stopped working in Russia – users began to complain about the complete stop of video hosting.
