- For those that don't know russian, this would come off as an escort service app. )
  
  Isn't that what Whatsapp and Telegram are already used for?
Blocking whatsapp +1
Having a state messaging app -1
- Blocking whatsapp +1
  Having a state messaging app -10
  State of Russia providing a state-controlled messaging service has got to be worse than WhatsApp, surely 😅
Not blocking telegram though. 😄
- Well that’s because Telegram is likely the state messaging app they’re talking about! 😄

- Why block a popular messenger that has no e2ee by default and shady custom e2ee that doesn't even sync between multiple devices users can optionally use? Sounds counterproductive
  
  Because it isn't controlled by Russia.
  
  that doesn't even sync between multiple devices
  Telegram syncs between devices for me. 🤷‍♂️ Not sure what you mean.
  (Yes, I'm in the middle of transitioning away from Telegram. Just gotta export my data first.)
- I mean they tried once, did not go so well
