Russian messenger Max expands user tracking in new privacy policy

Original: Russian messenger app Max has updated its privacy policy to include user interaction data. The new terms allow tracking

Russian state-backed messenger app Max has updated its privacy policy to cover user interaction data. The new terms allow the platform to track which channels users subscribe to or unsubscribe from, as well as likes, comments, and reposts. Privacy advocates warn the change significantly widens surveillance of user behaviour on the service.

Why now: People are concerned about growing state-linked surveillance through a widely used Russian messaging app.
