He noted that recently, State Duma deputies Fedot Tumusov and Dmitry Ionin proposed to unblock Telegram.
“I welcome this initiative. Unlocking would allow 30 million Telegram users in Russia to use the service more comfortably, ”Durov wrote.
According to him, this step could have a positive impact on the innovative development and national security of the country.
Earlier it became known about the preparation of a bill that prohibits the blocking of Telegram during high alert or emergency situations. The Kremlin refrained from evaluating the initiative.
Since April 2018, Roskomnadzor has been blocking the messenger.
