The authorities take the Internet denser

The authorities take the Internet denser. Several initiatives at once put under full control all significant sites, including Yandex.

The new Yandex management structure allows the state to directly influence all the decisions of the company. In fact, under the pretext of “national security”, we observe how the Kremlin squeezes the “Yandex”, which has long advanced between its own interests and the interests of the ruling elite.

“Yandex.NOVOSIS” - the main news aggregator in Russia, despite all the assurances that the agenda forms a robot, has been repeatedly seen in the tendentious news presentation. This is especially evident during mass shares, when Yandex gives out news only from state media or Prigozhinsky holding.

It is all the more obvious why the authorities are trying to control the audience of the Internet. Television remains the main mouthpiece of propaganda, but young people are more sitting on the Internet, today they are 16-20 years old, and after a few years-they will be a majority, which means the level of support for the authorities, which still focuses only on pensioners and state employees-the main audience of Solovyov and Kiselev will decline sharply. Neither Crimea nor Syria, nothing.

It remains to hope that the Russian state, first of all, officials and "specialists" of Roskomnadzor, can never bring anything to mind. They know how to select, rob, intimidate, but are not able to develop normal software. We well remember the story with Telegram.
