💨 Abstract
Russian authorities announced partial restrictions on calls in Telegram and WhatsApp, citing these platforms' use in criminal activities and terrorism. This move is part of a broader effort to control the internet, including banning non-compliant websites and using technology to monitor online traffic. WhatsApp and Telegram are among the most popular messaging apps in Russia, but the government is promoting a new national app, MAX, which will share user data with authorities and is mandatory on new smartphones.
