"Sticks" on blocking: Roskomnadzor reported for August

The supervisory authority reported on the removal of more than twenty thousand prohibited materials from the network, but the RSN does not report how the fight against information helps to reduce the number of real offenses.

Roskomnadzor in his official networks published the results of work for August of the current year in terms of information deletion.

So, over the past month of summer, more than 5 thousand materials with child pornography have been removed by the supervisory authority.

RKN also recalled the launch of the network in 2017, claiming that in 4 years almost 218 thousand violations were identified, of which the department of monitoring of the department found 77%, and the remaining 23% (51 thousand materials) were sent by citizens.

The number of tricky issues on the part of users, which largely coincide with the Roskomvoboda opinion, have not been resolved - the problem of violence against children is not solved by blocks, they need to punish those who commit unlawful actions in offline in relation to minors, and not restricting access to their content, but criminal prosecution.

In some comments, users are interested in how many posts with criticism of the authorities are on the list of prohibited. There are those who recalled the blocking of IP addresses that have not violated the Internet resources.

In addition to really related to children's porn links, anime, hentai and other content related to Japanese culture often falls under the ban.

Narcotic content also did not go unnoticed by the supervisory authority. According to the RKN, 10 thousand were removed such materials in August. Since 2019, he was identified about 119 thousand violations, of which 44 thousand were on those that were found using the aforementioned Roskomnadzor system. According to users, 75 thousand materials were identified, which is 63% of all found links.

Through the simplest mathematical calculations, you can see that on average in two years every month, RKN banned 5 thousand links, and taking into account August 10 thousand, we can assume that there is no talk about any decrease in drug distribution statistics.

This was alsosaid by us in 2017, and users (quote) themselves write about the same thing:

“Bookmarks were made in the yards, under the windows of houses, on playgrounds, they are done, and no one catches the mortgages or consumers, the district police officers are sitting in their stronghold, the teahnses drive and poking in the nose instead of working on their site. I already forgot when the policeman was the last time I saw on a walk around the residential quarters. ”

Under the “anti-drug” prohibition, from time to time, “bookmarks”, “bookmarks” or “labs”, Internet services simply because the authorities find some indirect mention of drugs, their use, etc. are in any way. One of the first to hand over and continues to get Wikipedia, and 2021 generally became rich in the claims of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: so, for two video clip on YouTube, a rapper Morgenstern was fined for 100 thousand rubles, the businessman Yuri Dudia was instituted , an interview with Andrei Makarevich was blocked , well, the most resonant and the most resonant The ban on the conversation of journalist Lyubov Parfentieva with the legend of Russian punk rock Yegor Letov published back in 1998.

Suicide calls, according to RKN, 7 thousand were discovered in August. Since 2017, 370 thousand have been identified, 323 thousand of which - using the monitoring service.

By the way, in the same 2017, the authorities themselves admitted that the statistics are disappointing here, prone to growth, and not to reduce the number of suicides, which proves - removing the corresponding content from the network does not give anything even. And this time, none of the users has already received a responed to statistics on the reasonable question of how the actions of the RKN have been influenced by the statistics.

Moreover, often, by the “struggle against propaganda of suicides,”, for some reason, the supervisory authorities imply news censorship , blocking the texts of songs and other content, which does not contain any “calls to suicide”. Roskomsvoboda often talks about such cases through our site or in social networks.

Of course, it is worthwhile to thank the RKN at least for such informing about the results of the work, because these data once again demonstrate the correctness of the affirmation of the meaninglessness of locks in the fight against real threats, but I would also like a little more transparency in another field of activity of the RKN - non -supporting blocks with the help of TSPU , the reports for which were never revealed to the world.
