It is (like basically everything these days), but the reason they banned it is almost certainly not that - but rather because CIA was found to be using it to coordinate their agents in Russia.

It's actually a real challenge. If they were to login to matrix.cia.gov or something, Russia would instantly know who they all are. So they use stuff that a lot of other people use.
* Signal
* Whatsapp
* Gmail
* etc..
And so Russia blocks these services in order to get rid of all the innocent people that are using them, so that then if someone is using it, they can be pinned as CIA.
