Telegram may be blocked in Germany in case of non-compliance with legal requirements

German Interior Minister Nancy Feser warned about disabling the work of the Telegram messenger in case of failure to comply with the requirements of the laws of the country. Such a move may be taken as a "last resort" if other means of dealing with the problem fail. At the same time, Feser notes that Germany alone has no chance to resolve the situation, so a pan-European decision is required on this matter.

As we wrote earlier German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann warned that Telegram could face millions of fines for violating German law.

At the end of December, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, drew attention to the statements of German officials regarding Telegram.
