Russia moves to restrict foreign messaging apps on Putin’s order

All Russian officials have been ordered to switch to Max, an app that reportedly has full access to the microphone, camera, contacts, location, and files on a user's device.

According to Ukrainian intelligence, the data is automatically transmitted to servers linked to Vkontake (VK) — a popular Russian social network that was created by Durov in 2006 and is now de facto controlled by Russian authorities

I wonder if they get to have a personal phone that doesn't have Max installed on it.
