The story with the rest of the billionaire Oleg Deripaska and Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Prikhodko on a yacht with girls from the escort enters the global level. Roskomnadzor demanded that YouTube and Instagram delete the posts of Nastya fish and video Alexei Navalny, which were recognized as violating the inviolability of private life. If the posts are not removed until the evening of February 14, both services can be blocked in Russia.

• Roskomnadzor, in its request, was guided by the decision of the district court of the city of Ust-Labinsk, which recognized the distribution of 14 posts on Instagram and 7 videos on YouTube. Such interim measures in the lawsuit of the secret of private life were issued in Russia for the first time.
• Photos from the Deripaska yacht, under the threat of blocking, were already forced to remove several media - for example, Mediazon, Radio Liberty and Snob.
• Formally, Roskomnadzor ordered providers to delete only specific videos, but not all providers can block individual pages - so some users risk completely without access to Instagram and YouTube.
• The court decided 9 Ferval, and by law the services were supposed to delete posts within three business days, but Roskomnadzor gave them time until the evening of February 14, Wednesday.
• Representatives of Google (owns YouTube) and Facebook (owns Instagram) did not comment on the decision and talk about their further actions. Until the materials are deleted.
• At the beginning of 2018, the Russian audience of Instagram amounted to 29 million users, YouTube (for August 2017) - 13.8 million .
• Russia is far from the only country where YouTube and other services are blocked. With Instagram, this happens less often, but, for example, in Iran, this service was also blocked during the unrest at the beginning of this year.
• Since 2010, Google actually does not work in China due to censorship, and all requests are redirected to the Hong Kong Domain. Because of this, Google did not receive $ 16.4 billion only in 2017. An Internet giant cannot afford to miss such a market, and in 2018 it plans to return to the country.

What am I to me?

If YouTube and Instagram are really blocked, it will feel 40 million users of services, and the story with Nastya Pisces will become the most serious precedent of the Internet censorship in Russia-for such, in general, a ridiculous reason. How Google and Facebook will behave is a big question: the Russian market is not as great as Chinese, and companies can take the principle, especially taking into account the accusations of indulgence to “Russian trolls” in the United States.

Theme of the day

An-148 fell by himself

The UK actually rejected the version of the terrorist attack when the An-148 crash-there was no explosion on board, the plane fell intact. The exact cause of the disaster will be clear after the decoding of the “black boxes” found today, this will happen within a day. While the investigation is taking the excavation of documents at the airports and in the Saratov Airlines, and the Udmurt Izhavia will temporarily work on the Moscow-Orsk route to the Moscow-Orsk route.

MONEY

Back to Russia

In January, on the eve of the publication ofthe “Kremlin report” , rich Russians transferred from abroad to the Sberbank unit for working with large clients “several hundred million dollars”-three times more than a year earlier. Everything would be fine, but this did not change the overall picture - the total outflow of capital from Russia in the same January jumped 2.3 times.

PRACTICE

Sberbank is in a hurry for instant messengers

Sberbank in the updated version of his application launched a messenger with a money transfer function (it is still unknown to restriction on the amount of the transaction), it appeared on the Dialogs tab. The new function works if both users updated the application. Thus, the bank is preparing to compete with messengers' payment services - recently, funds began to test WhatsApp, and Telegram develops its system within the ICO.

3D printer car for Peugeot

American entrepreneur Kevin Zinger lived and worked in Cleveland, in the heart of the “rusty belt” of Trump voters, and now creates environmentally friendly cars using 3D printing technology patented by him. Zinger has attracted more than $ 90 investments and has already created two prototypes - the Blade sports car and the Dagger motorcycle. Their creation is cheaper than traditional production, and Zinger has already entered into an agreement to develop projects with the manufacturer of Peugeot and Citroën cars.

Billionaires will not help

Russia could live for two weeks with the money of its richest billionaire - the owner of Severstal Alexei Mordashov ($ 19.7 billion). The founder of Alibaba Jack Ma ($ 45.5 billion) is able to maintain China for only 4 days, and the richest person in the world, the creator of Amazon Jeff Bezos ($ 99 billion) would spend all his fortune on the work of the US government in 5 days. These are the calculations of the “Index of Robin Hood” Bloomberg about how long the governments of around the world could work out if all the budgetary expenses of the country were taken by its richest person. The longest, according to calculations, Cyprus will last - the main local billionaire will be able to pay for the country 441 days.
