The Russian state media regulator, Roskomnadzor, announced on Tuesday that it has strengthened its restrictions on the messaging app Telegram. This move stems from the agency's accusations against Telegram for not sufficiently combating fraud and not adequately protecting the personal data of its users. Users across Russia have been experiencing significant disruptions in the app's performance, with complaints about slow download speeds increasing since January, and the situation has worsened in the past couple of days.
