The Messenger will open an office representative in Russia, as an aggressive country has been demanding from it for a long time.
The Telegram Messenger began the procedure for creating an official office representative in Russia. The data here appeared in the Roskomnadzor register, where the messenger was entered as a foreign service that began in the “landing” process. It was reported by Rossmi on Thursday, July 17.
In accordance with the register, company Pavel Durov submitted documents for the approvement of a branch or authorized legal creature. This is the latter of the three requirements of the law In the activities of foreign people on the InternetThe operation since 2022. In the past, the Telegram has fulfilled two conditions: registering a personal account in the Roskomnadzor register and the placement of a feedback form.
Against the background of launching the Russian State Mixer (the development was entrusted to the VK communication platform – Ed.) Telegram actions are considered an attempt to legalize status. Roskomnadzor refused to comment on deadlines for completing the procedure.
Those who violate the law face severe penalties: a prohibition on advertising, restrictions on receiving payments from Russian customers and organizations, and in extreme cases – a complete blockage of service in the Russian Federation.
Remember that the previous Telegram has removed more than 20 Russian channels at the request of the Russian Federation authorities. In particular, on remote channels – an unidentified Cheka -ogpu, with more than one million subscribers, called close to Russian special services.
According to media reports, the FSB is probably following Telegram users around the world, despite Durov’s statements about its “complete security”.
