Telegram Messenger, a popular messaging app, is confused over the recent dropping of fines against major technology companies in Russia. Despite being one of the companies involved, Telegram claims to have no assets, offices, or employees in Russia. The fines imposed on Google, YouTube, Meta, TikTok, and Telegram have been settled, but Telegram remains unaware of the reasons behind the dropped fines. The company lacks any presence in Russia and cannot provide insight into the motives behind the termination of the fines. These developments reflect Russia’s conflicts with foreign technology companies over unlawful content and user data storage.
