Russia Prepares to Impose Complete Ban on WhatsApp

The Russian government is reportedly moving to fully block access to WhatsApp within the country, citing concerns over the app’s encryption and alleged failure to comply with local regulations.

Authorities have already restricted certain features in the past, but a total ban would mark the first time Russia has completely cut off the popular messaging platform, which is widely used by millions of citizens for communication and business.
