Motorola phones experienced an issue where launching the Amazon shopping app caused a browser window to briefly open with a dubious URL before redirecting to an Amazon affiliate link. This behavior was linked to the preloaded Smart Feed app, which was sending requests to devicenative.com, associated with Motorola’s advertising. Motorola confirmed that this behavior was unintended and has since corrected the routing configuration, ensuring that apps now launch directly as intended. The company emphasized its commitment to user experience, privacy, and platform integrity.

Russia plans to implement a full block on the messaging app Telegram on April 1, 2026, following increased pressure from authorities over six months, including halting calls, conducting regional shutdowns, and slowing functionality nationwide. Telegram has nearly 96 million users in Russia and serves as a media outlet and communication tool for various state agencies and military personnel. The app was initially embraced by the Russian government but faced conflicts leading to previous blocking attempts in 2017, which were largely unsuccessful. In 2020, Telegram was allowed to operate freely again, but the situation changed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with increased scrutiny following the launch of VK's messaging app, MAX. Recent developments suggest Telegram could be classified as an extremist organization, posing legal risks for its founder and users. Additionally, the Federal Antimonopoly Service claimed advertising on Telegram was illegal, complicating its market presence in Russia, where it hosts about 40 percent of the influencer market.
