Roskomnadzor officially begins blocking Telegram.

Reasons for blocking from the RKN statement:

Russian legislation is still not being implemented, personal data is not protected, and there are no real measures to combat fraud and the use of the messenger for criminal and terrorist purposes. In this regard, by decision of the authorized bodies, Roskomnadzor will continue to introduce consistent restrictions in order to achieve compliance with Russian legislation and ensure the protection of citizens. #cs2
