WhatsApp Blocked in Russia: Messaging App Faces Crackdown
The Russian Federation’s Roskomnadzor has announced that it continues to impose systematic restrictions on the messaging app WhatsApp due to violations of Russian law. According to the agency, the service is being used to organize and carry out terrorist attacks in Russia, recruit terrorists, and commit fraud and other crimes against citizens. The report states that WhatsApp fails to comply with requirements aimed at preventing and combating crime in Russia. The regulator emphasized that, under such circumstances, restrictions on the messaging service will be extended, and if it continues to violate Russian law, the service could be completely blocked in the country.
