MOSCOW, March 28. /TASS/. There are no plans to block Telegram in Russia now, but its founder Pavel Durov should pay more attention to the fact that this social network is used by terrorists, among others, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"No, there are no such plans at the moment," the spokesman told the Shot Telegram channel when asked whether Russia planned to block Telegram.
"But, of course, we would expect Pavel Durov to pay more attention to the fact that this unique and phenomenal resource (Telegram - TASS), which matured before the eyes of our generation, is increasingly becoming a tool in the hands of terrorists and is being used for terrorist purposes," Peskov pointed out.
