This afternoon, Roskomnadzor, as a video on his Twitter, announced the “terrible truth” “In all telegram channels of the country” on Monday, October 9. “We know that someone will not like it. Therefore, it will be better if you learn about this from children, ”the accompanying post says. “Run while you can,” says one of the heroes-children at the end of the video.

• Telegram users immediately suggested that we are talking about blocking the messenger. But the head of Roskomnadzor, Alexander Zharov, denied The Bell, such an opportunity as the link of the video with the messenger in general. “There will be nothing wrong,” said Zharov, promising that “the second part of the intrigue will be disclosed on Monday at 10.00.
• The founder of Telegram Pavel Durov, in response to the question of a possible blocking of the network, told The Bell that he was "not in the know."
• The interlocutor The Bell, familiar with the plans of Roskomnadzor, connects the appearance of the video with the news about the creation in the department of the department, which studies the possibility of blocking various Internet services. Fryarov did not deny the connection of the video with the new department. The video is posted to divert attention from not the most positive news, the interlocutor of The Bell believes.

What am I to me?

• In an interview with Izvestia, Zharov associated the emergence of a new department with new Internet regulation standards, in particular, the Law on VPN services and anonymizers-services that allow you to bypass Internet blockers.
• The law adopted in July obliges VPN services not to give users access to resources blocked in Russia. Otherwise, the VPN service itself will be blocked. The law will enter into force on November 1.
• Experts consider the problem of blocking the VPN technically simple. But the ability to get around the blocking of users will still be left - this is the Meduza instruction on how to do this.
