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.

Telegram was founded in 2013 by two Russian brothers, Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Continuing its crackdown against entities allegedly involved in a front-running scam using messaging app Telegram, Sebi on Thursday carried out search and seizure operations at the premises of eight entities in multiple locations across the country. "Your messages about the movement of the enemy through the official chatbot … bring new trophies every day," the government agency tweeted. The channel appears to be part of the broader information war that has developed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has paid Russian TikTok influencers to push propaganda, according to a Vice News investigation, while ProPublica found that fake Russian fact check videos had been viewed over a million times on Telegram. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world.
