Скачать или смотреть Russia Blocks WhatsApp: How Moscow Chokes Insta, X & Telegram | Firstpost America | N18G

Russia has blocked access to WhatsApp, saying the Meta-owned app must follow local laws or face limits. WhatsApp says Moscow has tried to fully block its service and wants users to switch to a state-backed alternative. This is the newest step in a broader push by Russian authorities to tighten control over foreign tech platforms. Telegram, once widely used in Russia, is now facing new restrictions after earlier clashes over encryption. After the Ukraine war began in 2022, Russia banned Facebook and Instagram and restricted X. Apple, Google and YouTube have also been pressured over content and compliance. The Kremlin says these actions protect citizens and enforce national law. Critics argue they reduce access to global platforms.
