This is not a surprise. Individuals jailed for speech in Russia are "worthy victims" in a propaganda model, they are innocent victims who deserve justice and outrage because their suffering is politically useful for the elite (goal: Russia is le ebil). Individuals jailed for the same thing in client-states or allies are "unworthy victims" and either it didn't happen or you're misunderstanding things or this is just an unfortunate part and parcel of living in the world because their suffering doesn't really serve useful ends. The surprise is that this article is being published at all. The Economist, being a British publication, really would like it if they had less explicit government restraint and could revert back to the implicit government restraint that has served so well for ages. Notably, there is no by-line.

Such instructions could actually endanger people — citizens receive air strike warnings via smartphone alerts. In 2018, Russia banned Telegram although it reversed the prohibition two years later. "The result is on this photo: fiery 'greetings' to the invaders," the Security Service of Ukraine wrote alongside a photo showing several military vehicles among plumes of black smoke. But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee.
