Russia seeks to block Telegram messaging app

  Why is Telegram even making it possible for Russia to ask for keys. If it is truly end-to-end encryption there shouldn't be a key.

    There are keys, but Telegram has no access to them because the communication doesn't go via their servers. Russia is saying Telegram should change their system (e.g. not make it end-to-end, or send secret keys to a central server, or allow disabling encryption) to comply.
