Russia News: Russia Blocks WhatsApp Over Meta Non-Compliance, Pushes State-Backed MAX Messenger

Описание: Russia News: Russia Blocks WhatsApp Over Meta Non-Compliance, Pushes State-Backed MAX Messenger

Russia has blocked Meta-owned WhatsApp for failing to comply with local laws. The ban follows WhatsApp’s alleged defiance of Russian data retention and content rules. Authorities said Meta did not store required user data on domestic servers. The move affects millions of WhatsApp users across Russia and the region. Russia’s telecom regulator ordered the service blockage after repeated warnings. Meta says it is reviewing the situation and evaluating legal options. The blocking is part of wider crackdown on foreign tech companies in Russia. Other services like Facebook and Instagram also face restrictions in the country. Digital rights advocates warn the move limits online freedom and communication.
