He wrote about this on his VKontakte page.
“The head of Roskomnadzor denied the desire to gain access to the personal correspondence of Telegram users and stated that all he expects from us to comply with the law is to provide information about the Telegram company. If the desires of the regulator are really limited to this, I have no objections to the registration of Telegram Messenger LLP in the register of information dissemination organizers, however, we will not comply with the unconstitutional and technically unrealizable “Yarovaya Law” - as well as other laws that are incompatible with the protection of privacy and Telegram privacy policy,” Durov wrote.
He is ready to work together with the regulator to remove public materials related to the promotion of terrorism, drugs, calls for violence and child pornography, as well as continue to work to suppress spam.
“I can’t predict how this statement will affect the position of the regulator, but I am sure of one thing: if Telegram is really blocked in Russia, it will not happen because we refused to provide data about our company,” Durov wrote.
