Russian Presidential Advisor and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) Anton Kobyakov said that the issue of choosing the "main messenger" in the country can be discussed only after the FSB recognizes Max as reliable in terms of information protection.
Kobyakov emphasized that the law on personal data is strictly controlled, and cases of leaks cause serious crises.
I don’t think the FSB of Russia has yet accepted Max as a secure messenger. As soon as the appropriate level of data protection is confirmed, it will be possible to answer this question
The presidential advisor added that the choice of messenger remains personal and depends on user preferences, comparing the situation with the choice of cars.
