By 2030, civil servants will be forcibly transferred from 'publicly accessible messengers' to 'Max'. The government has ordered the complete transfer of working communications for state and municipal officials, as well as employees of subordinate institutions, from other publicly available messenger platforms to the domestic platform 'Max'.
Consensus
- The Russian government has issued an order requiring all state and municipal employees to transition their work communications to the 'Max' messaging platform by 2030.
- By 2030, the share of work-related communications conducted exclusively through the multi-functional information exchange service based on 'Max' must reach 100%.
- The technical support and development of the platform is managed by 'Communication Platform', a subsidiary of VK.
- The order was published on the legal acts portal.
Points of divergence
- In June, Apple removed 'Max' from the App Store due to it being labeled as spyware by Cloudflare, which caused push notifications for iPhone users to stop working. — novaya_eu
- 'Max' and 'VKontakte' were blocked and fully removed from Google Play due to EU sanctions. — tg_sotavisionmedia
