Russian State Duma deputy Anton Gorelkin declared that new messenger MAX will compete fairly with Telegram and WhatsApp through unique features—not regulatory restrictions. At the “Territory of Meanings” forum, he emphasized MAX’s competitive edge lies in identity verification and government service integration, absent in current platforms.

“MAX can win market share in fair competition without blocking rivals,” stated Gorelkin, urging developers to prioritize user-friendly design. His remarks followed rumors of a WhatsApp ban in Russia from August 1, which the State Duma denied.

The messenger aims to challenge incumbents by offering unprecedented functionality while adhering to open-market principles.
