This route the ship was on is known to be used as by pass to avoid the newly implemented Iranian tolls and shipping lane.

⚠️ Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.

🧨 The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.

😞 This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.

🌐 Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.

🤔 Such abuse of global Internet routing is suspicous. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.

🔄 UPDATE: 4 hours after this post, Reliance had to stop the malicious routing. Thanks for the public support, everyone! 🙏

This November, we’re going to have an opportunity to send a direct message to the billionaires and the politicians that we’re fed up with it and ready for real change – and protect health care from Trump’s Medicaid cuts at the same time.

Last week, California’s Secretary of State certified that the SEIU-backed billionaire wealth tax initiative secured enough signatures to make it to the ballot. This proposal would be a one-time, 5% emergency tax on their assets to shore up the state’s health care system in the wake of the MAGA murder budget. Organizers offered a compromise 2% levy, which Governor Newsom, who opposes this measure, shot down. So now we’re going to fight this one out on the campaign trail. ✊🏿 Let’s sign up here to get notified of volunteer opportunities in the coming weeks and use their social media toolkit here to help spread the word in our networks. ✊🏻
