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

      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

        Because it isn’t controlled by Russia.

        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

            Ah, yes. That’s correct, sorry I misunderstood you. Yeah that’s pretty lame that it doesn’t work on desktop. I remember wanting to use that several times.

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

      State of Russia providing a state-controlled messaging service has got to be worse than WhatsApp, surely 😅
