In chats there is no edge

From the locks of sites that showed their inefficiency, you should proceed to the monitoring of users who are looking for "illegitimate content". This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov at the "government hour" in the State Duma, the "Vedomosti" reports .

“From the point of view of law enforcement agencies, it would be much more important for us to occupy a proactive position. For example, not to drive everyone into encrypted channels, but to carefully monitor who was looking for this or that information, made access to one or another anti -corporate content,” said Nikiforov. “At the same time, due to the fact that all this is encrypted, no one can understand what kind of information is provided, what kind of content is for the content, whether this Some threats of national security, the threat of committing certain crimes. "

In addition, according to the minister, special services should have much more questions than to the Telegram messenger, to work services such as WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook and Google. “I believe that these are much more problems there. At least, we see that companies such as Telegram conduct system work and clean all the channels associated with the ISIS prohibited organization. They are fighting, react to this and do this,” Nikiforov noted . At the same time, the minister does not know anything about such actions of large Internet companies.

On July 8, Nikiforov said that the regulation of the Internet in one form or another will develop . "We proceed from the fact that freedom on the Internet does not mean permissiveness, and the digital economy is only a new environment for communication, for the application of existing law regulations that operate in national countries. And not a single country of the world will ultimately ignore its current legislation. Therefore, the regulation will develop in one form or another," Nikiforov said.

At the same time, the minister emphasized, regulation should not be based only on prohibitions. "We must create new rules of the game, conditions, in order to accelerate the digital transformation, which means to improve the quality of life and the efficiency of our national economies," he said.
