Russian authorities have kicked off a new phase of tightening control over foreign messaging apps by putting technical restrictions on Telegram. This move shows a growing trend towards reshaping the country's digital landscape, while also promoting a comprehensive local government app called 'Max'. Media reports indicate that Russia's communications oversight body began slowing down access to Telegram services today. They're doing this by imposing technical limits that affect how fast the app works and the quality of its service. This is all part of a broader policy aimed at reducing reliance on foreign digital platforms and boosting government control over the digital space.
