Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, has been charged with assisting terrorism by Russian authorities. While this does not immediately impact users, it could lead to Telegram being recognized as an extremist organization, potentially banning payments for premium subscriptions and displaying the logo. Lawyers advise caution but note that using the messenger for communication remains legal. Some politicians and experts suggest waiting for official clarifications before purchasing premium features.
