RE: Telegram block in Vietnam results in overall slowdown of ALL internet

I guess that 'bottleneck' theory is possibly true, however, since we don't have proofs it will remain a theory, and I guess the government won't announce it prematurely. There could be reasons for that especially concerning national security, a communist party government has more control compared with federal or democratic ones. Here in the Philippines, people can do whatever they want on the internet, no restrictions, no censorship but I guess we are much prone to online scammers. Somehow those kinds of restrictions are aimed to protect the people or if not, maybe there are other government agendas that we don't know.
Telegram is not widely used here and there have been several groups that tried to victimize people using that app. They used viber first offering online sidehustles, then when you agreed to join, they will add you to a private telegram group where you can never send a message but just scroll, read testimonies and the task that you need to do everyday to 'earn'. I knew it was a redflag so after I got my first pay out, I immediately left without investing any amount on them.
Sometimes too much freedom in allowing people to use online apps can be enticing for online syndicates to target these countries with not so stiff restrictions. I just hope that the internet speed won't be affected by that 'bottleneck' system.
Seems like I need to VPN through your country then :)
well as mean as it sounds I think that someone is the kind of person that believes a stranger on the internet and sends them money, they kind of get what they deserve.
