💨 Abstract

Russia's communications regulator, Roskomnadzor, is gradually restricting WhatsApp, citing violations of Russian law and the app's use in criminal activities. WhatsApp, which has over 100 million users in Russia, criticized the move, stating it aims to deprive users of private communication. This dispute is part of a broader conflict between Russia and foreign tech platforms, which intensified after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
