Viber was blocked on the territory of the temporarily occupied Donbas. Company position

On June 3, Viber was blocked on the territory of the temporarily occupied Donbas. The company calls the decision "an attempt to limit the safe communication of people."

The main thing is that on June 3, Viber learned that the messenger was blocked in the temporarily occupied territories of Donbass by the decision of the "authorities" of the "LPR" and "DPR". "This decision can only be perceived as another attempt to ban sources of truthful information and restrict the safe communication of people on Viber," the company said. The company opposes blocking and " does everything possible to ensure that people and people can keep in touch." Details

Viber claims that all correspondence is fully encrypted by default and now the service works without interruptions for all our users.

DOU asked Rakuten Viber for a comment to find out how the situation will affect the company's employees, how many Viber users there are in the occupied territories and what the company plans to do next, but has not yet received a response.
