From March 1, 2023, the use of foreign messengers for the transfer of personal data and financial information, as well as interfacing them with information systems for money transfers, was prohibited. The ban applied to banks, non-credit financial institutions, state-owned companies and some other legal entities. However, until now there were no sanctions for violating the ban.
The administrative sanctions for violations of the said ban appeared in the new article 13.11.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. The Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media now has the right to issue a fine for the offending company from 100,000 to 700,000 rubles, for directors - from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles.
