Putin is against the Internet

I can imagine how today, the day after the final board of the Ministry of the Interior, the head of the department Vladimir Kolokoltsev will sneeze his subordinates. They, who did not catch the spirit of time, made his report on the old fashioned way. The Minister tediously spoke about the fight against criminal groups, the disclosure of particularly serious crimes. But all this was not at all interested in the chief participant of the collegium - Vladimir Putin. As befits the Supreme Commander -in -Chief, the president is focused on the fight against the new chief criminal, the global doctor is evil. The name of this leader of crime is the Internet. Putin so bluntly told the leaders of the domestic police: “You and I, unfortunately, know what the Internet is and how it is used to promote completely unacceptable content.” The chief chief of the country with obvious concern states: technologies are developing too quickly, the authorities do not keep up with them. And the main goal of Internet criminals is the most important property of our country (no, I'm not talking about the palace in Gelendzhik), these shameful ferrets aimed at our children. They use a worldwide network, the devil would have chosen it, for "the spread of children's pornography, prostitution, to bring minors to suicide." However, there is a crime and more terrible - "minors are also drawn into illegal unauthorized street actions." And then a direct indication of law enforcement officers follows: “It is necessary to monitor the Internet space together with colleagues from other departments, to more actively identify those who draw minors into illegal actions on the network.”

Well, who dares to protest when the chief chief opens the front of the struggle against bringing children to suicide! How can you not recall Ostap Bender, who was also interested in the fate of unfortunate street children. In fact, we are most likely present at the first volleys of the war with the Internet and social networks, in which the Kremlin has long sees a dangerous enemy. A week ago, at the FSB college, Putin unequivocally defined the world's network as a battlefield: “The global digital space has already become a field of very rigid geopolitical rivalry. Last year, only the number of so -called most dangerous attacks on Russian information resources, including the resources of the authorities and management, has grown almost 3.5 times. ”

Moreover, according to law enforcement agencies of other countries, Russia has long created special units for the implementation of "rivalry" in cyber space and periodically achieves significant success here. The American prosecutor’s office, I remember, called a dozen officers of the Main Directorate of the General Staff, who participated in intervention operations in the American elections. And now in the States they are only trying to assess the damage caused by the penetration of hackers into the databases of the main American ministries. However, with all these remarkable opportunities that the Internet has given the Internet, cloak and keyboard, in the Kremlin, it seems that they experience an irrational fear associated with social networks as a means of mobilizing citizens. Ten years ago, Igor Sechin explained that the “Arab Spring” of the social networks “fucking”. In the minds of domestic chiefs who have spent years to turn Russian journalism into a sex rag, it does not fit in any way, which could be some kind of uncontrolled means of disseminating information, access to which tens of millions of people have. Those that watch the revealing videos of Navalny.

And Putin declared war on the Internet. There is no doubt that the punitive authorities, following the direct Putin’s instruction, will indulge in a gigantic number of cases of violations of the laws invented by the State Duma on the safe (for the authorities) using a worldwide network. The tireless Roskomnadzor residents will be fined social networks for not destroying the texts that the chiefs consider illegal. There is only this, according to the media, the government has already been concerned about a new tax on the Internet. It involves the collection of additional fees from global companies using Russian citizens and forming an advertising policy in the Russian Federation.

In general, they will fight with the Internet with all the passion of fighters with chipping and communication 5G. With the same success with which they once struggled with the printing, considering it the source of all conceivable and unthinkable vices. Even if the Kremlin succeeds in the impossible and he will get resources so that in the manner of senior comrades from China to build a certain protective wall around Russia, it will not live long. Ilon Mask missiles regularly take off, posting in space all new satellites of the global Internet distribution system. In the foreseeable future, the dissemination of information will, in principle, cannot be controlled with the help of national legislation. It remains only to send special forces to the headquarters of Microsoft ...
