Former adviser to the President on the Internet of NSN explained why the days are numbered Telegram

German Klimenko said that 80% blocking will lead to the collapse of the Telegram, because very few people will use the app, which sees a large part of the contacts in the phone book. In his opinion, it is impossible to exclude that will remain one who will find new ways to bypass the blocking, but here, as with drugs and prostitution — completely impossible to win. But over time, the execution of the laws of the country in whose territory the work of foreign or domestic company, will become the norm and will become a habit the entire world community, Klimenko assured.

"Another question is when this will happen, but then I'm not ready to be a Kafka. Ask around in the Ministry, but I think that in the course of this year the issue will be resolved," — said Klimenko.
