    Telegram Founder's Terrorism Label Affects Personal Finances, Not Messenger

    The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has accused Telegram founder Pavel Durov of aiding terrorism, leading to his inclusion in the register of terrorists and extremists by Rosfinmonitoring. This move primarily impacts Durov's personal finances and property, rather than automatically banning or deeming Telegram an extremist resource. Payments for Telegram services like subscriptions and gifts are not considered financing terrorism. However, transferring money directly to Durov may now be seen as such. Telegram users can continue using the messenger, but should be cautious about money transfers.
