Russia has restricted access to WhatsApp for many users, warning that the messaging service could face a nationwide block unless it complies with domestic regulations — the latest step in Moscow’s widening crackdown on Western technology.
WhatsApp users in Moscow and St. Petersburg reported late last week that messages were failing to send and that photos and videos were loading slowly. As of Monday, some users were still experiencing disruptions, though the issues appeared less widespread.
Russia’s state communications watchdog, Roskomnadzor, said it had imposed “restrictive measures” on WhatsApp, accusing the platform of repeatedly violating Russian law.
According to the agency, WhatsApp was being used “to organise and carry out terrorist activities, to recruit perpetrators, as well as for fraud and other crimes against Russian citizens.” It urged Russians to switch to domestic alternatives and reiterated that the service could be fully blocked if it does not comply with legal demands.

Yet Russia and Putin allow western media to run riot all over Russia causing trouble such as the BBC and SKY big mouths, but no Russian journalist would get further than the arrival lounge at Heathrow airport, how does that work?
