The failure of Telegram and some other instant messengers was associated with the restructuring of Roskomnadzor gateways. About this TV channel “Duma TV” said Anton Tkachev, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications.
“Some systems may collapse within the scope of Roskomnadzor’s restructuring. Roskomnadzor carried out this check to understand where these bottlenecks are; which could lead to unblocking one of the gateways or channels in the future,” Tkachev said.
Before that, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications Anton Gorelkin statedThe failure of Telegram and other popular services in Russia may have occurred due to human error or hacker attack.
