“Changes to the legal organization of a company do not affect the execution or non-fulfillment of the legislation of Russia by the specific organizer of information dissemination, in this case, the Telegram messenger. Nothing changes, ”TASS quotes him.

Earlier it became known that the creator of Telegram Pavel Durov filed an application for the liquidation of the company Telegram Messenger LLP, which is listed in the Roskomnadzor registry.

In April 2018, the court granted the request of Roskomnadzor to block access to the Telegram due to the failure of the FSB to provide keys for decrypting user messages.

In the summer of the same year, Telegram agreed to transfer information about terrorists to special services on the basis of a court decision.
