Russia Blocks Meta's WhatsApp as Moscow Pushes for State App Max | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Russia has blocked WhatsApp nationwide, with the Kremlin saying parent company Meta failed to comply with local laws on data storage and cooperation with security agencies. The move affects millions of users and follows earlier bans on Facebook and Instagram. Moscow has promoted a state-backed messaging app called Max as an alternative, with nationwide advertising urging users to switch. Officials say the action is about legal compliance and security. Critics argue that it increases state control over online communication and reduces privacy protections. Some Russians are moving to domestic platforms, while others plan to use virtual private networks as the country’s digital space continues to tighten. --- Russia | WhatsApp | State App Max | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #max #russia #whatsapp #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
