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.

To that end, when files are actively downloading, a new icon now appears in the Search bar that users can tap to view and manage downloads, pause and resume all downloads or just individual items, and select one to increase its priority or view it in a chat. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations.
