A Russian court ordered on Friday that access to the Telegram messenger service should be blocked in Russia, state-run TASS news agency reported.

Russia's state communications watchdog said last week it had filed a lawsuit to limit access to the Telegram messaging app after the company refused to give Russian state security services access to its users' secret messages.
