The new app "combines the features of a messenger and the functions of government services," the Duma's press service reported.

      For those that don’t know russian, this would come off as an escort service app. )

      Well that’s because Telegram is likely the state messaging app they’re talking about! 😄

          I assume this is just a joke… Because with the relationship Telegram has with the Russian government this would be quite unlikely.

      Why block a popular messenger that has no e2ee by default and shady custom e2ee that doesn’t even sync between multiple devices users can optionally use? Sounds counterproductive

        that doesn’t even sync between multiple devices

        Telegram syncs between devices for me. 🤷‍♂️ Not sure what you mean.

        (Yes, I’m in the middle of transitioning away from Telegram. Just gotta export my data first.)

          I meant their supposedly secret chats. Last time I’ve checked they weren’t even available on desktop
