FSS demands that the messenger provides information for decoding messages.
Moscow Court fined the Telegram messenger for 800 thousand rubles for refusal to provide FSS with information for decoding messages, Correspondent.net reports quoting RIA News with reference to court spokesperson Yulia Bocharova.
In late September, the founder of the messenger Pavel Durov claimed that FSS made a report on the violation of “Yarova’s law” to Telegram.
This demand is due to the operation of the Law On Information, as per which the services, registered in the register of organizers of distribution of information, should pass the key to intelligence agencies for decoding messages.
The messenger’s team does not inform how many users Telegram has in Ukraine, but the possible blocking of its service in RF will not affect them. It is a different matter if FFS finally obtains access to users’ data, we will not need to speak of the confidentiality of information at all.
