The State Duma advised Telegram owners to take care of the reputation of the messenger. Deputy Chairman of the Lower House of Parliament Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications Oleg Matveychev said it makes sense for Telegram itself to take Care of its own reputation.

He also expressed the opinion that Telegram founder Pavel Durov should pay more attention to the fact that the messenger is becoming a tool in the hands of terrorists. Previously, Roskomnadzor restricted access to 11 Telegram channels with terrorist content.
