Vladimir Putin Blocks WhatsApp: Russia’s Digital Crackdown Begins

Millions across Russia woke up to a digital blackout after WhatsApp was officially blocked nationwide. Authorities in Moscow — backed by the Kremlin — say the move follows legal violations by Meta, which also owns Facebook and Instagram, both banned since the start of the Ukraine war in 2022.

With over 100 million users affected, Russians are now being pushed toward a state-backed alternative, while Telegram also faces mounting pressure. Critics warn this signals tighter surveillance and growing control over online speech.

In this episode, Veridox News breaks down why WhatsApp was blocked, how Russia’s digital space is rapidly changing, and what this means for privacy and freedom of communication.

We also revisit one of the Middle East’s most shocking moments — the assassination of Anwar Sadat, the leader who reshaped Egypt after war and made peace with Israel — a killing that altered regional history forever.
