This was announced by the founder of the platform Pavel Durov.
“From the beginning of next week, all users from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus will be able to limit the circle of those who can send them private messages. We are also implementing artificial intelligence solutions to filter such spam even more effectively,” he wrote.
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 the operation of the Telegram messenger in Russia.
