Russia has fined the Telegram messaging app 35 million roubles ($432,366) for failing to âremove â banned â content, Russia's Interfax news agency reported on Monday.
Authorities âhave repeatedly accused Telegram, one âof the most â popular messaging âapps âin âRussia, of â allowing itself to be used as âa platform for âillegal and extremist content.
Telegram rejects the charge and has âaccused Russia of trying to âthrottle its âservices â in order to force people to switch âto a state-run app called MAX.
