I can’t, I forgot most of it. But a little search returned some results:
But it’s also true that sometimes it’s not done with a pro-piracy stance but they would just rather have it pirated than bought through key-resellers as these can hurt indy-game dev a lot.
You are conflating the two meanings of free. Pirated software does not improve your freedom and open source is not necessarily free.
That being said I’ve seen a few indie game studios making pro-piracy statements or even putting the game on torrent networks themselves. But these are the one that deserve the most to be paid.
The Russian government has also allegedly begun preparations to block the WhatsApp messaging app.

My question was more about the motives in this case.
I don’t get it, are you really arguing that Russia and Venezuela are blocking Signal to protect their citizens from American snooping?
Telegram is not secure, I guess if you can listen to it better not block it.
Being decentralized prevents DNS or IP blocks but not blocks through DPI.
Signal has an option to masquerade it’s traffic as regular HTTPS, I don’t know if Matrix can do such a thing.
For system wide DNS blocking you only have two options: use a DNS server with blocking (either your own with something like a piHole our a public one) or use the hosts file.
