On July 15, 2025, the media reported that a large network of Russian stores with goods for children was leaving the platform due to a legislative ban on the use of foreign social networks. We checked the reliability of such publications.
On July 15, the press service of the Children's World published in its Telegram channel fast, which stated: “To our unfortunately, we are forced to report that in accordance with the new law, we can no longer communicate with our buyers in the foreign messenger of Telegram.” Many media, retelling this press release, began to argue that the chain of stores left Telegram and decided to close its channel with more than 50,000 subscribers.

In its post, the "Children's World" does not specify which law we are talking about. Some media and telegram channels Tied Network solution with order On the creation of a state messenger based on the MAX service, who was signed by Mikhail Mishustin Prime Minister three days earlier. However, it is more likely that the "children's world" meant entering By virtue of June 1, a law prohibiting state bodies, banks, communication operators and site owners to serve customers through foreign messengers.
The next publication of the Children's World says: “We will continue to delight you with information about new promotions, goods, useful and funny posts, and we will answer all your questions with pleasure in our group on VKontakte and on the site.”
This means that the “children's world”, contrary to the statements of the media, did not declare the closure of his Telegram channel due to the entry into force of the new law. The network only warned customers that the support service would no longer accept appeals on this platform, and invited them to ask questions in other social networks. Representatives of the Children's World confirmed this in response to the question “verified”, sent through the official community of the company on VKontakte.

At the same time, in March 2022, it appeared there statement Companies that it will stop placing content and provide customer support in these social networks.
It should be noted that many media and channels corrected the news about the departure of the “children's world” from Telegram, but not everyone did it correctly. So, the BAZA Telegram channel Additional The post information on the removal of the original publication of the “Children's World”, but did not refute his statement that the chain of stores was completely leaving the platform. Meduza I corrected information about the law in her publication, in connection with which the Children's World made its decision, but did not write anything that the company would continue to place content on the platform.
The earliest of the discovered “verified” publications that the “children's world” completely leaves Telegram, appeared In the Astra channel at 22:51 Moscow time. Now this post has been updated - the authors of the channel complemented it with the proposal "Children's World deleted the post without explanation."
