Telegram is no longer banned in Russia two years after the country’s communications agency, Roskomnadzor, blocked the messaging service for refusing to provide encryption keys to the government.
Russia blocked Telegram’s access in the country in April 2018 due to its refusal to provide encryption keys to the Federal Security Service (FSB) for use in decrypting messages if necessary. Today, the country’s communications agency Roskomnadzor ended the ban on the service after it made some concessions (via Reuters).
