In Russia, from August 1, the What'sApp messenger and VPN will be blocked. Journalist Anastasia Kashevarova writes about this today in her telegram channel.
Where she got such information, Kashevarova does not say.
"What'sApp is one of the most rotten instant messengers. Messenger of scammers, recruiters and APU. Everything is read and listened to. How many routes of journalists, military personnel on SMO were recognized by the enemy through What'sApp, how many dead. Through What'sApp, fraudulent schemes are being built to steal money from our population. This messenger works completely for the enemy. It is in What'sApp that all these parent chats are. Letters of "happiness"," writes Kashevarova.
This "resident evil", in her opinion, should be blocked first of all.
WhatsApp's fate in Russia is a foregone conclusion, Anton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, said earlier. According to him, the presence of this messenger in the digital space of Russia is, in fact, a legal gap in national security.
