Russia Attempts Full WhatsApp Block, Pushes State App; Meta Warns 100M Users at Risk

Russia is attempting to fully block WhatsApp, according to its parent company Meta, in what appears to be a major escalation in the country’s digital crackdown on Western technology platforms. Meta said Moscow is encouraging users to shift to a state-backed messaging app called MAX and warned that the new platform could potentially be used for surveillance. Russian authorities and state media have rejected those claims. #RussiaWhatsApp #WhatsAppBan #MetaVsRussia #DigitalCrackdown #InternetControl #MAXApp #RussiaTech #UkraineWarImpact #GlobalTech #BreakingNews The move comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and foreign tech firms following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Since then, Moscow has tightened internet controls, imposed fines, and restricted platforms that fail to comply with domestic laws. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov indicated that WhatsApp could return if Meta agrees to follow Russian legal requirements, but said there would be no chance otherwise. With approximately 100 million users in Russia, WhatsApp’s uncertain future underscores the broader geopolitical battle over digital sovereignty and internet control.
