The owners of the messenger of Telegram and WhatsApp have really become the accomplice of criminals. This was declared by the head of the State's Duma Committee on the policy of notifying Sergei Boyarsky in his Telegram channel.

Owners of foreign messengers who almost completely ignore Russia's laws and do not interact with us, really become a co -commitment of criminals. Basically, they passed away to help the Ukrainian army of call centers, Mr. Pho wrote.
Boyarsky added that if the calls in the messenger became the main tool of the scammers, the decision to slow them was right.
On August 13, Roskomnadzor reported that Russia took measures to limit parts of calls for telegram and WhatsApp. The management agency explains these measures by the need to fight criminals according to documents of law enforcement agencies.
The Russian Ministry of Construction reports that access to services of calls in foreign messengers and WhatsApp will be restored if they meet the requirements of compliance with the laws of the Russian Federation.
