In an interview with the Moscow Talking radio station, he said that the state had been using the application for work for a long time, since it had a large audience.
“Telegram is already quite actively used by all government bodies and all those interested in communication. Telegram has a large audience. Where there is an audience, communication is carried out, ”the deputy minister explained.
Earlier, Roskomnadzor lifted the requirements to restrict access to Telegram.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov also commented on this decision.
