Russia imposes curbs on WhatsApp, Telegram calls
The Star
|August 18, 2025
RUSSIA announced curbs on calls on the WhatsApp and Telegram messenger apps last week Wednesday, saying that this was necessary to fight criminality, state media reported.
“In order to combat criminals, measures are being taken to partially restrict calls on these foreign messaging apps (WhatsApp and Telegram),” communications watchdog Roskomnadzor said, as quoted by the RIA and TASS news agencies.
The messenger apps have become “the main voice services used for fraud and extortion, and for involving Russian citizens in subversive and terrorist activities,” the watchdog added.
