Russia may restrict calls in messengers due to increased fraudulent activity.
The option of completely blocking voice calls or banning calls from abroad is being considered.
According to experts, most calls in messengers are made by scammers, Kommersant’s article emphasizes.
Telecom operators, without additional tools, cannot block calls on their own.
Such a restriction is apparently only possible at the level of Roskomnadzor.
Possible scenarios are being developed by two agencies at once: the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications and Roskomnadzor.
In the future, blocking of voice traffic from abroad and a complete ban on voice calls in messengers cannot be ruled out.
Before this, the head of Roskomnadzor Andrey Lipov spoke about the possibility of blocking calls via messengers.
According to him, this is technically possible if the requirements of Russian legislation are met.
