Russia plans to restrict some calls on WhatsApp and Telegram, saying the apps don't cooperate with the government to stop "deceit and fraud."

WhatsApp has stated that Russia is attempting to restrict the messaging app's operations due to its refusal to provide access to encrypted messages. Source: WhatsApp on X (Twitter) Details: WhatsApp emphasises that its end-to-end encryption service protects users' right to private communication,
