Maybe they just don't have enough balls to go after the biggest ones (WhatsApp and Viber). Plus, other IMs don't have public channels anyone can subscribe to. IIRC that was the original problem, "extremist" channels. Why did they ask for encryption keys instead of blocking channels? Who knows lol. Telegram still works without (manually adding) proxies :D EC2 Ireland (at least the subnets where my servers are) also works.
