Russian internet protests: Thousands take to the streets to show opposition to censorship | The Independent: Thousands of Russians took to central Moscow on Monday in a rally against internet censorship and a government ban on the Telegram social media app.  Since a 13 April court decision outlawed the messaging app, authorities have taken a no-nonsense approach to blocking it. But their actions have also brought large parts of the web to a standstill – while Telegram continues to function. Many now fear the Kremlin will put in place even more restrictive information policies in an attempt to grasp control.
