"Russia tried and failed to block Telegram in 2018Image: Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto/picture alliance Telegram's Russian-born founder Pavel Durov said late Tuesday he was not going to bow to pressure from Russian authorities, writing the app "stands for freedom and privacy, no matter the pressure." Russia's state communications watchdog said earlier in the day that the popular messaging app would face further restrictions from authorities because it failed to correct previous violations."
Telegram remains operational in Russia despite prior blocking attempts and new threats of restrictions. Pavel Durov stated the app 'stands for freedom and privacy, no matter the pressure' and said he would not bow to Russian authorities. The platform serves a wide range of users in Russia, including Kremlin officials, the courts and exiled opposition figures. Russian regulators notified Telegram that it failed to correct earlier violations and indicated that further restrictions would be imposed. Russia previously attempted to block Telegram in 2018 but was unsuccessful. Further developments and updates on regulatory action are pending.
