📰🇷🇺 The Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee of the Russian Federation (on information policy), Andrey Svintsov, stated that Telegram will not be blocked for now. 🎤 This was reported by the media outlet "Ostorozhno Media", which is run by Ksenia Sobchak. The politician responded that it is due to cooperation with local special services and law enforcement agencies, especially when it comes to American IT, where it «is used to analyze information both about industrial-commercial espionage and a certain cross-section of the state of our [Russian] society». 👮‍♂️ But Telegram, attention, actively «cooperates» with Roskomnadzor and the Russian authorities, so its blocking is not expected. As for Telegram, I think that Telegram will not be blocked for now because the management of the Telegram company interacts with our law enforcement agencies, with Roskomnadzor. And here, I think, we can still use Telegram quite calmly for some considerable time.
