Russia’s move to ban Discord, an instant messaging platform popular among gamers and programmers, sparked a backlash from military bloggers who say it’s used by drone operators at the front in the war on Ukraine.
The uproar came after Russia’s internet regulator on Tuesday added the application to a growing list of social media services that are restricted, citing concerns it was used to recruit people to carry out terror attacks and sell drugs.
