I've checked again, and most posts about fines\arrests that i was able to find were related to screenshots of groupchats, and no data requests were done to whatsapp itself. My bad. Viber worked actively with cops while their head office was in Minsk, even after Rakuten acquisition. VK, and other companies that are located in Russia, especially those that are owned by mail.ru group, are actively working with cops.
