TL;DR Summary

Telegram has blocked the popular Russian channel "Morning of Dagestan" after it was blamed for inspiring a violent mob that breached the main airport in Dagestan, Russia, in search of passengers from Israel. The riot, which resulted in the arrest of at least 60 people, was allegedly incited by the channel's posts encouraging Muslims to aggressively question passengers about their stance on Israel. Telegram, known for its unmoderated platform, has been criticized for allowing extremist groups and conspiracy theorists to thrive. The move to block the channel comes amid growing international unrest related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
