    I’m surprised that the service works at all in Russia. Isn’t there some sort of sanction that disallows that? I think it’s time for someone to look into that.

      The Russia government is probably happy to have people chatting in an unencrypted service

          No, because the MITM attack is the relevant government walking up to discord with a paper saying “I do what I want”

            they are not even “in the middle” but rather “at the very end”, since they’re just getting the data directly from the service provider instead
