For the past week, LibGen has reportedly been unavailable for many users, according to TorrentFreak and r/LibGen. Recently, there was a message on the forum mentioning that key members of LibGen were unable to participate in LibGen activities for an indefinite period of time. Without any signs from the maintainers, the future of LibGen remains unclear
Grown in lands where the battle between the desire for unconstrained access to readings and censorship pressure has lasted for centuries, LibGen was a beacon of free access in the times of digital leviathan dictating what you should read and think.
I have my fingers crossed for LibGen and for their librarians whose efforts have built a generation that does not respect and fear unnatural borders in spreading knowledge.

Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever." Now safely in France with his spouse and three of his children, Kliuchnikov scrolls through Telegram to learn about the devastation happening in his home country. You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. In addition, Telegram now supports the use of third-party streaming tools like OBS Studio and XSplit to broadcast live video, allowing users to add overlays and multi-screen layouts for a more professional look. Two days after Russia invaded Ukraine, an account on the Telegram messaging platform posing as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged his armed forces to surrender.
