Durov: Russians will be able to limit the circle of those who can write to them on Telegram. Telegram is not a place for unauthorized mailings and calls for violence, Durov noted.

Earlier, Roskomnadzor said that they did not see the need to limit operation of the Telegram messenger in Russia. The company is also implementing artificial intelligence solutions to filter such spam even more effectively, he wrote. The move is expected to take place from April 1.
