But it affects many popular messengers: WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, Snapchat, Chinese WeChat, gaming Discord, crypto messenger Threema, as well as corporate products from Microsoft – Skype and Teams.
WHAT THREATS VIOLATORS
The role of the body monitoring compliance with new legislative requirements is performed by Roskomnadzor.
At the same time, clear criteria for content writing service identifying violators have not yet been developed. It is highly likely that the control process will be based on reviewing complaints with subsequent verification of the software specified in them with the above-mentioned list of prohibited services.
For violating the restrictions, officials (representatives of management and top management) face a fine of 30-50 thousand rubles, and legal entities face a fine of 100-700 thousand rubles.

It is assumed that punishments will be assigned in accordance with the general rule of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation:
from two violations - a fine for each fact (for example, if you sent passport data or a payment order via WhatsApp several times, you may be issued the same number of fines);
if a number of violations on one basis are identified during a control and supervisory activity, the fine is the same as for a single violation (Article 4.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
IS IT WORTH SWITCHING TO UNBANKED MESSENGERS
While most private businesses, unless they are connected to the government or financial institutions, do not need to think about changing messengers, for public and financial sector organizations this is a pressing issue.
The thing is that
A large amount of information falls under the categories of data that cannot be transmitted using prohibited services
Thus, it is prohibited to send personal data with their help, but theoretically they can mean any information that somehow reveals the person - for example, full name, date of birth, marital status.
The restrictions also create a number of practical inconveniences that slow down various processes in organizations. For example, you can discuss the delivery date with the supplier, but you can no longer send him scans of documents with their help.
At the same time, a partial transition to non-prohibited messengers, which involves transferring all legally sensitive communications there, is quite burdensome for organizations, so a complete transition seems optimal in this case.
Today, there are about 20 corporate messengers on the Russian market
Many of them already have the basic functionality that users of public messengers are accustomed to: for example, channels and chats, replies, threads, emoji reactions.
