Telegram Avoids Ban By Finally Agreeing To Register With Russia But Won't Share User Data

After being threatened with a ban in Russia, end-to-end encrypted Telegram messaging app has finally agreed to register with new Russian Data Protection Laws, but its founder has assured that the company will not comply to share users' confidential data at any cost.
Telegram Avoids Ban By Finally Agreeing To Register With Russia But Won't Share User Data


Russia's communications watchdog Roskomnadzor had recently threatened to block Telegram if the service did not hand over information required to put the app on an official government list of information distributors.


The Russian government requirement came following terrorists' suicide bombings that killed 15 people in Saint Petersburg in April in which terrorists allegedly used the Telegram's app to communicate and plot attacks.


"There is one demand, and it is simple: to fill in a form with information on the company that controls Telegram," said Alexander Zharov, head of Roskomnadzor.  

"And to officially send it to Roskomnadzor to include this data in the registry of organizers of dissemination of information. In case of refusal… Telegram shall be blocked in Russia until we receive the needed information."
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov refused to comply with the country's requirements because he feared that it would weaken the privacy of its over 6 Million Russian users.

Telegram: No Confidential Data of Users will be Shared


However, after facing pressure from the government, Durov agreed on Wednesday to store Russian citizens' information on the country's servers.

The Russian Federal Service for Supervision Of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) announced on Wednesday that Telegram had finally presented all the requirements.

Roskomnadzor is a federal executive body in Russia responsible for overseeing the media, including the electronic media, mass communications, information technology and telecommunications; organizing the work of the radio-frequency service; and overseeing compliance with the law protecting the confidentiality of its users' personal data.



Durov announced his decision via VK.com, the Russian version of Facebook, adding that while he's happy for Telegram to be formally registered in Russia, anything that violates users' privacy will not be served — only basic information about the company will be shared.


"We will not comply with unconstitutional and technically impossible Yarovaya Package laws—as well as with other laws incompatible with the protection of privacy and Telegram's privacy policy," Durov said.

Telegram is an end-to-end encrypted messaging app, but unlike WhatsApp, Telegram does not offer the end-to-end messaging feature to its users by default. Rather users need to open encrypted chats to communicate securely.

How to Communicate Securely with Telegram 


If you are communicating with people on Telegram thinking that your chats are end-to-end encrypted, you are mistaken, because all your chats will be stored in plain text on Russian servers, making it possible for the government to request it with court orders, when required.

So, always make sure that you communicate with people on Telegram using its encrypted chat feature. Here's how to start an end-to-end encrypted chat on Telegram:
  • Open Telegram app
  • Select the contact you want to communicate
  • Click on his/her name
  • Select 'Start Secret Chat' (highlighted in green color)
  • A new, secure chat window will open, where you can communicate securely.
You can also enable other security features offered by Telegram.
These features include Two-Step Verification that allows you to set up an additional passcode for your Telegram account, which is also required to log into your account and Self-Destruct Secret Chats that lets you self-destruct your messages after a specified time (between 1 second and 1 week), leaving no trace on Telegram servers.
