The Telegram messenger may be blocked at the insistence of the German Ministry of Internal Affairs if the administration of the resource does not fulfill a number of requirements.
This warning was issued by the head of the department, Nancy Feser. Law enforcement is concerned about the spread of illegal content through the application.
The German Ministry of Internal Affairs allows the use of extreme measures in relation to the operation of the resource on the territory of the country in case of non-compliance with national legislation by the management of the messenger, reports.
From the above it follows that this is not the only measure that can be applied to the development of Pavel Durov.
Before a corresponding decision is made, German authorities are ready to consider other options for regulating the operation of the application.
It is planned to discuss the work of Telegram with the heads of other EU member countries.
Previously, the German Ministry of Justice had already threatened the resource administration with millions in fines if German legislation continued to be violated.
Authorities are demanding that the company cooperate, remove illegal content and provide intelligence agencies with access to data necessary for their investigation.
